This is the 3rd rebuild and they're now a cap team and they're worse now than when they started. Bang on.

This was probably my favourite part:

More hand-waving. Wait? How long? What pieces? Why should the fans trust the management team in their third rebuild to fix it before 4th general manager, 6th coach and 4th rebuild?

Is there a plan? What is it, even in generalities? Or is it more hope? Draft Ekblad, keep Nurse on the big club next season, overpay Halak, and Iginla or Moulson and continue operations as normal, flailing around like a Timbits goalie?

Nothing the Oilers have done this season, and nothing in this letter suggests otherwise.
