The Edmonton Oilers are trying something interesting.

Head coach Kris Knoblauch has put together a third line of three rookies: Quinn Hutson, Matthew Savoie, and Isaac Howard. It’s the kind of move that generates buzz, and understandably so—these guys can all play.

Howard sounds pretty pumped about the opportunity, and his enthusiasm hints at why this could work.

“That would be exciting. Both those guys are great players, fast, shoot the puck, pass. Young too,” he said when asked about playing with Savoie and Hutson. “So I think that would be fun, and I think we’d have potential to do some pretty good things out there.”

The speed and skill are there.........
