After Nugent-Hopkins got injured last season, Taylor Hall (LW) and Jordan Eberle (RW) were centered by Sam Gagner (C). Gagner has not regularly played on the wing since the 07-08 season. Eberle has spent his entire career with the Edmonton Oilers on the right wing.

For the Edmonton Oilers, here are some position corrections:
  • Teemu Hartikainen should be 20 LW, 16 RW and 10 C
  • Mark Arcobello should be 20 C
  • Chris Vandevelde should be 20 C
  • Lennart Petrell should be 20 RW, 18 LW and 14 C
  • Jordan Eberle should be 20 RW
  • Taylor Hall should be 20 LW, 16 C
  • Sam Gagner should be 20 C, 18 RW
  • Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should be 20 C
  • Anton Lander should be 20 C

When it comes to ratings, please take the following into considering:
  • Justin Schultz has 2.5 stars potential yet is considered to be a blue-chip prospect and potential #1 defenceman
  • Taylor Hall has 4 stars potential despite being a #1 overall. If Seguin is 5 stars, Hall must be as well given that Hall has a better points clip over the past 82 games than Seguin; further, Hall should have very high aggression and bravery as given his playstyle
  • Nugent-Hopkins as #1 overall should be 5 stars
  • Yakupov as #1 overall should be 5 stars
  • Ryan Smyth should have lower physical attributes
  • Ryan Whitney should have significantly lower physical attributes (can no longer skate effectively)
  • Ben Eager should have significantly higher physical attributes (very fast skater)
  • Mark Fistric is known for huge hits yet has a hitting of only 14

Captain is Shawn Horcoff. Assistants are Nick Schultz and Jordan Eberle.

Thanks. Been enjoying the game so far.
Position notations are noted. Don't worry about the ratings though. Once I start hitting players individually above the very raw framework that's out there, you'll notice a significant change. I promise.

Thanks for the constructive feedback, always appreciated!
