Edmonton Oilers: Five reasons this team is a playoff team

4. Improved Bottom Six – On Paper

The bottom six added Warren Foegele as their big addition this offseason. Honestly, that is a great move for the team. Edmonton’s bottom-six does look better on paper with Foegele, Kassian, McLeod, and Archibald ready to lead the charge.

There are a lot of different options the team can do lineup-wise, and Holland did do his best to give Tippett as many pieces to the puzzle as he can in case players get injured or things change.

Edmonton’s bottom-six does not need to score as many goals as the top six, but they need to be able to help out in a close game or when the lineup needs a spark, and I think they have the group to do just that this season.
