anyways, the point is that EDM did everything they were supposed to do as far as their end of the CBA and, under the current system, were unable to ice a competitive team that made it through the second round.

Did everything they were supposed to do?
Weren't they supposed to try drafting future NHL players instead of future ECHL journeymen?
The Oilers futility under the most recently expired CBA can be explained by their inability to draft worth a damn. Maybe if they hired a head scout that didn't live in Mexico they could have been a model franchise instead of one that just covered up their incompetence with excuses about the CBA.
