The Oilers have had lots of brand recognition on offense because of the high draft picks. But the bottom line is that those players have been terrible. Awful. Scary, yes - but not in a good way.

I'm glad you see them through Red colored glasses, but I see them for what they are... A ticking time bomb.
They finally dumped the boys club upstairs.
Got a real NHL coach.
Hall is an elite LW.
McDavid is generational.
Eberle is a very good RW
RNH is a great #2C
Yak, Pouliot, Draisaitl are all good second line options.
That right there is enough to be a little afraid of.
If they had more than a cardboard box for a goalie and someone other than the orange cones that they use for defensemen. They would be a dangerous.
Now the problem is that they aren't anywhere near competent on the back end. But grading their Forwards as a C is not realistic.
