The Oilers don't look to be a playoff team right from the start, the center depth is very weak right now with Mika Zibenijad playing on the top line with Eberle and Hall and it goes down from there. Both Sam Gagner and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins are starting the season on the IR so we will need them back to really be a decent forward unit.

On defence, things have changed a lot since I took over. Ference is still the top dog here but Cody Ceci and Anton Belov are going to need to make a big impact this season. Alec Martinez is not on the Oilers roster for now because for some unknown reason, he is still with the Kings even though I completed the trade. I have reoffered the deal so I will see that happens.

Scrivens will get the majority of the work to start with and see what happens.

(I will be doing this in 5 game segements. Hopefully there are no major crashes or anything)
