I still think the best thing the oilers could do is move that 1st overall pick. Look what the Lindros trade did for the Quebec/Colorado franchise. Not that I think that we'll ever see a trade quite like that again but the Oil could trade the pick and a couple of pieces and completely re-tool and be years ahead.
As an aside, I love a meaningful Battle of Alberta and on the other hand enjoy the oilers rolling in their own filth, so this is all bitter sweet.
