interesting take!
The defense is poop but I do wonder how they would be offensively, as all these centres are players who can make those around them better
I think the oilers proved that they are pre important
, though oilers have alot more probelms than just poor wingers... but still
You didn't really see a full season of McDavid-Drai-RNH-XXX down the middle.
Also, the Oilers are running wingers right now apart from Drai that would barely make more than half the NHL rosters. This team has decent wingers who have proven they can score around 20 goals playing with top centres. Only thing is theyre likely 3rd liners

yeye I get your point,
I just mean in the general question.. I think wingers are pre important and people dont give them enough love sometimes

Exactly. Wingers that are competent and ca at least not drag down talented centers like you have here (or, as you state, a 3C deep Oilers lineup of McD, Drai, Nuge) are probably all that is needed to have a successful 4 lines. I think these wingers here, while all middle six talents, would make for an amazing overall lineup coupled alongside each of those centers.
Not counting Draisaitl when he plays wing, each and every one of these "very average" wingers could challenge next season to be the Oilers top scoring winger, for example....yikes.
