None of us are privy to any of that, but I agree with the rest of your sentence. The Oilers are lacking in two main components of a hockey team, goal tending and defensemen. When your goalie lets in 4 goals on whatever it was, you don't win many games. Giving up four or more per game doesn't allow you to win many hockey games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Like magic, this move has fixed EVERYTHING! They are like a whole new team I'm pretty sure this is still Ken Holland every morning, in front of the team offices in Edmonton... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they can get 4 x 1st OA's in 6 years and STILL not be able to put together a cohesive team is absolutely incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a single NHLer from any of those first round picks after McDiver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensive game needs a lot of work. Jury still out on Broberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure anyone McDavid and Draisaitl are not cancers in the room Edited November 24, 2023 by canuck73_3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 McDavid has one of the more low-key personalities in the league and folks wanna think he's a cancer? Most of the hubbub surrounding him is fan and media driven, dude just wants to play hockey, it's what sparks him Not his or Draisaitl's fault that Oilers management have seemingly been inept for years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton's drafting is approaching Gillis level incompetence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
