We are right now one of the worst teams in the league. Our best players are old, our prospect pool is not great, and we have no picks stockpiled. In fact we are missing our 2nd round pick for this years draft, and our management has said out loud that he is not going to be a seller at the trade line. Our management gets piled on widely by commentators, and there is widespread talk of incompetent owners constantly meddling and micromanaging things.
Sure, it will take some doing to reach the lows the Oilers have gone through, but from where I'm standing, everything seems to be in place to make exactly that happen. Some of the old timers on this board have actually already said that they preferred the Young Guns years over what we have now.
