I understand the Oilers were trying to speed up their rebuild but selling off almost all your high draft picks for unproven commodities is not the way to do it in my opinion.

Agreed. I don't understand how people believe these moves edmonton made are any different than the moves MacT made last season. Got an unproven goalie with good stats on good defensive team (scrivens), Got stay at home D men who everyone thought filled defensive hole (Fayne, Ference) Got size upfront (Pouliot, Purcell). Aquiring these mediocre guys to fill your gaping holes doesn't fix anything.
