If the Oilers go on a run, who is one player that could be the “2006 Pisani”?
Phil Gretzky:
Derek Ryan, no question.
Sean Mallon:
Jesse Puljujarvi. If JP finds his hands and starts scoring regularly, the Oilers may be able to cover up any defensive or goaltending weaknesses by putting 5-7 goals in the next each game. Puljujarvi has the skills to do it, and who wouldn’t be happy for the guy if he finds his form at this key moment in time?
Lane Golden:
Jesse Puljujarvi has been playing some good hockey, but has struggled to find the back of the net despite the many scoring chances he is creating. I think he is poised to break out soon and the playoffs could be his time.
Devon Hladunewich:
For me it’s Warren Foegele. He plays in a similar spot as Pisani did and has the ability to have an effect on both end of the ice. Plus he was starting to heat up at the end of the season.
