The Oilers have always had a bunch of big, poor players throughout the years. MacIntyre, Eager, Strudwick, Gazdic, etc. As an Edmonton fan I'm certainly no stranger to that.
Edmonton fans also get all excited about big prospects that aren't drafted for skill and then project ability onto them.
These guys are a dime a dozen at the NHL level. They receive much more attention then they deserve as prospects IMO.
