With the debut of the NHL regular season rapidly approaching, the media has been paying close attention to what lies ahead for the team.

With that in mind, Mark Spector, a prominent Oilers insider and analyst gives his protected starting Oilers roster - and it looks beautiful! Here is what Spector drew up:

PROJECTED LINEUP

Forwards

- Skinner - McDavid - Hyman

- Nugent-Hopkins - Draisaitl - Arvidsson

- Janmark - Henrique - Brown

- Podkolzin - Ryan - Perry

Defence

- Ekholm - Bouchard

- Nurse - Stecher

- Kulak - Emberson

Goalies

- Pickard

Although this starting roster is only a solid guess, Oilers enthusiasts can anticipate very similar lineups to this once come puck drop in October.
