2011-12 Edmonton Oilers Organizational Depth Chart

Edmonton Oilers Depth Chart - Projected Lines
The only things the Oilers need to be competitive in 2011-2012 are time, two NHL forwards, two top four defensemen (one of them on the right side), and a reliable veteran goalie. Instead, they've decided to go with a bunch of kids, some ruffians, six bottom-pairing defenders (all on the left...

If you bring in...
Now That Looks Better, Doesn't It?
