This potential new Oilers line might just emerge as the first line for Edmonton this upcoming season.
McDavid Flanked By Two New Wingers in Unexpected First Line

The other experimental winger for the Oilers' first line is Evander Kane. Kane finished the year last year with 41 games played, with 16 goals and 12 assists. In a recent video, Kane and McDavid can be seen developing some great chemistry.
