Get Kassian as scratched and Sceviour in.

They should play evader on the second and Hyman on the third line just to get the bottom 6 going Hyman can run a line on his own

I do understand spreading the talent but even tho I like yam a lot more than Kane if he gets played ahead of Kane that’s another strong example as to why Tippett should be on the hot seat.

I don't think Evander would take league minimum

Kane would be in the top-6. Probably him and Yamamoto swap places.

I'd have Benson in over Shore too, not sure Tippett agrees though.

Smith starts and I'm pretty sure Skinner will be the 1B with Koskinen in the taxi squad going forward (they'll go with Smith -Koskinen for the Ottawa game and make the Koskinen / Skinner switch before they play again. This allows Skinner to get into a bunch of AHL games over the next couple of weeks while they Oilers aren't playing).

Have fun! He's a great guy once you get to know him.
