They DO NOT have fire power at all, and considering none of their young "offensive" players play any defence, until they prove they have fire power I for one will continue to dispute this fact.

Agreed all around, and to add to this. The backbone of a good offense is an active, quick defense. The Oilers let Petry go so they can give more ice time to... Schultz? Nikitin? Ference? Ahhhhahahahahahaha
