## Resource

The Oilers’ top-line signings over the past few seasons—Jeff Skinner, Viktor Arvidsson, Andrew Mangiapane—failed to deliver, despite lofty expectations. Injury history, defensive struggles, coaching questions, and most importantly, a lack of chemistry derailed those moves. Success, however, has come from players who fit McDavid and Draisaitl’s games: tenacious forecheckers like Podkolzin and Foegele who create space and turnovers, and scorers like Hyman who finish chances. The lesson? Chemistry and complementary styles matter more than star power. The Oilers’ future success hinges on finding wingers who mesh with McDavid and Draisaitl—not just big names.
