The contract extension for Connor McDavid is likely going to be a short-term one in Edmonton. And for good reason.

The Edmonton Oilers made a reasonable bet signing Andrew Mangiapane. He's consistently helped his teams outchance opponents. But his productivity/point production has been steadily declining for a few years. Details:

Yeah, Henrique especially has had little positive impact. Uncle Dennis reffered to them as a "loss leader", which I thought was accurate.

I heard Holland refer to depth guys as "clock killers" once at a season seat holder event, which made me laugh considering how bad he was at identifying those.

The Oilers 5v5 numbers have been declining, with depth players being an issue.
Last ten games without McDavid or Draisaitl deployed: 45% Corsi, 41% Expected Goals, 37% Goal share.
Thoughts on this and how it relates to the Oilers recent acquisition.

Darnell Nurse has been playing much better recently. But it required some very strategic deployment tactics by the Edmonton Oilers coaching staff.

What's more likely to not only bounce back, but excel: the Oilers scoring ability or the team's goaltending? Bit of a random thought I briefly dug into.

Pulled these from Hockey Viz. This year vs last year. Definitely less shots from in close, and more from the point.

The Edmonton Oilers shooting percentage at even-strength should eventually improve. But there's a couple issues they'll need to address to improve their odds of scoring more frequently.

Darnell Nurse is off to a poor start this season, and it's having an impact on the forwards he's often playing with. Wrote about it for Oilersnation.

Here's the Oilers defencemen at 5v5 so far. Top pair is fun. Kulak and [guy] are fine. Second pair needs to get sorted out.

Early days, five games in, etc. But here's the Edmonton Oilers forwards on-ice numbers at 5v5 so far.
Matches mostly what I've seen. Skinner, Podkolzin and Arvidsson have played well and should hopefully see their numbers improve. Hyman's had a slow start. And RNH hasnt been good.

With some help from @oilersnerdalert.bsky.social I looked at how often teams are posting Clear Victories this season. The background of this metric, what it measures and how the Oilers compare with the other contenders:

With Connor Brown struggling and being a healthy scratch, I looked into another top six forward whose on-ice numbers at 5v5 have been just as poor. #Oilers
