Talented players.. like first overall picks.. receive ice time. Shocker.
Quite the Oilers conspiracy.
I won't even go into your "meaningless games" argument. Absolutely ridiculous.

Ovechkin, for example, got icetime because, as a 20 year old, he was already the Caps best winger and he deserved it.
Yakupov got icetime because the Oilers organization appears to be more concerned with showcasing their hope than anything else. He looked completely lost at times.
If you think their rookie seasons are in any way comparable, other than via the stat that you threw out there, then knock yourself out.
As for the meaningless games being ridiculous, we can agree to disagree.
