What if you could build the ultimate Edmonton Oilers roster—but only using players who have played alongside Connor McDavid? In this episode of Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis takes on the All Connor McDavid Teammates lineup challenge, with strict rules:Every player must have overlapped with Connor McDavid in EdmontonThe roster must fit under the NHL salary capOnly one player can be on a rookie contractWe reveal the full defense corps for this fantasy Oilers lineup, including Evan Bouchard, Mattias Ekholm, Oscar Klefbom, Adam Larsson, Darnell Nurse, and Tyson Barrie—and break down how each fits into the team’s puck-moving, possession-first strategy. From first-pair dominance to specialized third-pair roles, we dive into why these combinations could thrive in today’s NHL.We also discuss roster-building philosophy, the importance of pairing puck movers with puck retrievers, and why the Edmonton Oilers’ real-life blue line construction has been such a challenge in the Connor McDavid era.0:00 Intro: Ultimate Oilers team from McDavid era4:44 Ideal defensive pair composition and strategy8:50 Monarch Money sponsorship10:33 Top defensive pairing: Ekholm and Bouchard15:38 Second pairing: Klefbom and Larsson20:14 Third pairing: Nurse and Barrie24:48 Challenges in evaluating NHL defensemenSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
