Insider gives report cards on Edmonton Oilers

As per Oilers Nation:

Leon Draisaitl: A+
There's no doubt that Leon Draisaitl has been Edmonton's MVP this season and there's a strong chance he'll wind up with his second Hart Trophy when it's all said and done. The German pivot leads the league with 40 goals, 29 even-strength goals, and nine game-winning goals. He's also been very effective away from the puck and has completely shattered the narrative about being a one-dimensional player.
Mattias Ekholm: A

The Oilers were without Mattias Ekholm for one game because of an illness recently and it was a stark reminder of just how important the veteran is to the team's blueline. Through 54 games, Ekholm has 24 points along with a goal differential of 49-to-38 at even-strength. He's logged an average of 22:43 per night while playing on both the power play and penalty kill.

Corey Perry: A
Likely the biggest surprise on the Oilers this season has been old man Corey Perry, who sits fifth on the team with 12 goals. The 39-year-old has been Edmonton's most reliable depth scorer thus far and he's been able to hold his own when playing on the top line. The Oilers are up 25-to-16 at even-strength when Perry is on the ice, the highest goals-for percentage of anybody on the team.
Connor McDavid: A-

After missing three games to injury and three more to a suspension, Connor McDavid sits second on the Oilers with 71 points through 49 games at the break. It's difficult to complain about that level of production but the captain is on pace for fewer points than what we've become used to in the past few years. McDavid is also in the middle of the pack on the Oilers in terms of goal differential at 48-to-43.

Evan Bouchard: A-
When looking at statistics alone, Evan Bouchard should be right up there with Leon Draisaitl as the most valuable player on the Oilers. The skilled defender is third on the team with 44 points in 55 games and has a goal differential of 53-to-36 at even-strength while logging 23:37 per night on average. Bouchard has been a major catalyst offensively for Edmonton but his turnovers have been costly and his play in the defensive zone leaves something to be desired.

Darnell Nurse: B+
Despite not having a consistent defensive partner this season, Darnell Nurse has done a very good job at driving Edmonton's second pairing. He's logging an average of 21:54 per night in all situations and has a 42-to-36 goal differential at even strength. Finding Nurse a steady partner is a top priority for the Oilers ahead of the trade deadline.

Stuart Skinner: C
At a glance, Stuart Skinner appears to be improving following a slow start to the season. The Edmonton native has a .910 save percentage since December, putting him at .900 across 37 games played. The worrying thing about Skinner has been his play against elite competition, as his save percentage against top-ten teams is all the way down at .870.
