My biggest problem with Hall is he tends to have moments of Hemsky stupidty where he puts himself in jeopardy, he also has his own injury problems.
I think Oiler fans realize that J Schultz might have a longer development curve then most expected, I think he's a guy that could have benefited by staying on the AHL. Yakopov I think is the weakest of their first round picts because he just doesn't appear to be a well rounded player, maybe he'll learn that he's still really young. I honestly thought that RNH was the offensive catalyst to build around, not sure now with the injuries.
[QUOTE=Husky;4216473The Oilers D is currently horrible and their prospect pool is thin (except for potentially Klefbom). Oilers D is pretty udnerwhelming as well. Another issue is the Oilers have zero decent veterans to help the inconsistent young players.[/quote]
yup, They don't have a whole lot coming that's going to turn things around, Plante is looking like a bust, Klefbom looks decent but it takes a while to develop defensemen.
Its going to take the Oilers a while to rebuild their organization depth, they continually guess wrong in terms of veterans to pick up or put their horses behind.
[QUOTE=Husky;4216473Overall the Oilers team makeup is brutal. Other than 1st overall picks, they ahve done a very poor job when having high spots in the 2nd and 3rd round as well.[/QUOTE]
Yup built the team like a drunken teenagers hockey pool without much thought.
