In the circumstances, deck chairs may not be a bad strategy. The Oilers got an extra 1st out of it all, and three players who have not yet given up all hope of redemption. When those guys get permeated with Oiler stink, they can recycle them for other plugs.
Maybe what they need to do is start trading their best-performing players when their value is (momentarily) high. This would send a positive message to the others: ‘If you want to get out of this dumpster fire, play good hockey!’
Of course, that would require management to have the brains to recognize that the team is a dumpster fire, so I don't expect them to do it, except by accident.
