The Oilers are currently at 8 years without the playoffs, and its likely to hit 9. The record is 10 years.

With the way the Oilers are being run and with them being addicted to draft picks they could easily beat the modern record of 10 years.

Even if they draft one of the two uber stars they're going to have to change the culture in that dressing room and Eberle and Yakupov while the easy choices to move will not garner what the Oilers hope they'll garner. The two key chips are RNH and Hall.

I was thinking last night that MacTavish had talked about the forensic audit bs and how he wouldn't be making deals until that was complete.

While either the audit never happened and they strung a line to make Oiler fans believe something was happening, or its over, and Katz decided to ride his current horses, or Nicholson is just a figure head who's going to be taking the blame for this catastrophe or a season.
