Where did you acquire this data? Sometimes these websites have players in the wrong position.
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.
