ARE THE OILERS THE BEST CANADIAN TEAM ON PAPER?



The Edmonton Oilers were two goals away from lifting the Stanley Cup, and they wasted no time adding offensive pieces in Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner in free agency, while re-signing Adam Henrique. TSN Hockey analyst Marin Biron joins SportsCentre to discuss if the Oilers are the best Canadian team on paper, or if another team could challenge them.

  1. Knaublach needs to unlearn his tendency to contract his rotation to McDavid-Draisaitl-Hyman-Bouchard-Eklund the minute the Oilers go down a goal.

  2. After Miller and Boeser who do they really got? Debrusk now annd then who?? Pettersson? the dude had 2pts against the Oilers in a 7 round series give me a break, Oilers now have 3 lines that could have a potential 50 goal scorer on it.

  3. That subtraction needed before the season wil most likely be Ceci or Kane and getting either of them off the team would make the Oil better and give them the cap flexibility to add at the deadline. Vancouver, if anything, sidegraded during the offseason while EDM definitely got better.

  4. Skinner was unbelievably shaky playing against the Canucks and that gave the Canucks a chance. He wont be playing like that again. Its an interesting perspective, and we will see how it plays out, but I think common sense would have the Oilers as a better team than the Canucks

  5. Biron is just trying to sound different, and I get it, doesn't make for good discussion when everyone is in agreement. So as long as he's okay taking the L, someone's gotta do it.

  6. Well, it’s not Toronto. What were they thinking signing Ekman-Larson? Did they not see how shit he played in Vancouver?

  7. What a stupid take from Martin! This is the kind of take that makes Canucks fans talk more delusional then the already do. McDavid and Dri eliminated the Canucks while playing with serious injuries . Eliminated the Stars a way better team ''on paper'' then the Canucks ,while both players injured. Took it to game 7 in a cup final ,everyone can see Dri was not banging on all cylinders. But this dude talks like if Demko was in net the series would have been different lol.

  8. Lmao this guy is full of crap 🤣 Vancouver got worse and Edmonton was already better, AND they added two big impact top 6 players. What a 🤡 take.

  9. Edm very lucky to get past canucks who were missing Demko Boeser playing with a broken finger before bloodclots removed him Petterson was completely MIA –can't wait for the rematch

  10. Umm.. Biron had too many drinks this morning? Does he know that the whole Oiler roster had the flu bug in the 2nd round?
