Last season, of course, the Edmonton Oilers recovered from a horrible start to the regular season and went on to come within one win of the Stanley Cup. This season, the Oilers aren't in horrible shape after 10 games (4-5-1) but they are coming off a 6-1 spanking on the road against Columbus. To be honest, the Oilers have started off with some very lackluster games even in a few wins.
To make matters worse, Edmonton lost the one player they absolutely CANNOT be without: Connor McDavid. (All due respect to Leon Draisaitl). He left the Columbus game in the first period and is on IR with a projected 2-3 week timetable for his return.
So Ek's question of the day is: Should the Oilers shop for a replacement who can move down in the lineup when McDavid returns? If so, who do YOU think they should pursue?
