Plain and simple. The Oilers lack jam/size and a few strong veteran players upfront.
Their D is a whole different game. Its horrible. They have little for prospects on the backend looking to be top 4. They have a ton of work to do to address numerous issues on the team.
On the other hand the Flames have quality veterans, quality goalie prospects and some guality young D. They also have some quality youth as well. Where they lack is the top end young plauyers; Hall, Eberle, etc. They have onef orsure with Baertschi and maybe gaudrea. Hopefully this draft they get a couple more.
