Everything to do with the Oilers is pathetic.

From how they fluked out into another star talent, to them bragging because their team was so inept that it caused that situation to happen in the first place and now because they get a small taste of success they are gods among men.

The problem that the Oilers have and will continue to have is stupid management. Look at that cap situation. No doubt McDavid is awesome, but how can you surround him with anything when you have so many dollars tied up in mediocrity. The Oilers may or may not continue to be a playoff team (if any of Draisaitl/McDavid/Talbot falter in the slightest they won't be), but they will not be a contender until they get a supporting cast.

Look at Pittsburgh. Had a solid supporting cast and went to the finals a couple times and won a cup. Lost a good portion of that cast and they were just okay and never really amounted to anything. They got that supporting cast back and are back to back champs again.

McDavid is great. However, he can't do it himself. No player outside of Patrick Roy in 1993 can will a team to victory by himself.

Frankly I hope that the Oilers continue to be run as they have. They'll never do a damn thing.
