The Edmonton Oilers are getting closer to opening night, and the big question is what the lineup will look like when the puck finally drops. With veterans locked into key roles, the real intrigue comes from the new faces and young talent pushing for a spot. Isaac Howard and Matt Savoie are both looking to make a statement in camp, while David Tomasek could provide valuable depth if he earns his way onto the roster.
Tyler and Liam break down their predictions for the Oilers’ opening night lineup, who has the inside track on cracking the roster, and how these newcomers might fit into the mix. They also look at how Edmonton’s depth compares to last season and what this could mean for their chances of starting the year strong.
How would you like to see the Oilers lineup set up?

I think having a third line of Henrique-RNH-Frederic would be a good idea. Very defensively responsible, with the physicality of Frederic and all three of them can score.
Tyler…you dissed Fredrick and now he’s on the top line to start with davo.. Trent is amazing and clearly gonna be good but he’s never gonna play with davo. Board work board work board work!!!! We can’t beat Florida if we don’t have grit this year
I like this lineup more than last years, savoie and mange are a huge step up imo.
I dint think Howard is going to make this team this year at least not from what I seen…Noah Philps is a much better option right now!
I don't think Howard is making the team past the first 10 games. I'd be shocked if he was playing opening night.
If Tomasek has a good pre season, I honestly think you could easily be in the top 6.
Lazar strong pk where EDM stuck last yr and playoffs and can win d zone faceoffs on his strong side esp on the pk. N adds speed and forecheck as henrique boots are fading. See phlips taking some time at center at 4c.. Would not be surprised if Jones speed and aggressiveness takes some time from janmark.
