Oilers had a prime opportunity to address their needs on D and they didn't. How much value did 4 have when Puljujarvi fell? A good GM would have deals lined up in that event. You have to think someone out there would've coveted Puljujarvi+Draisaitl for instance. The Oilers are like that friend who is addicted to crack. Except they're actually your enemy and you don't care if they OD. Is the goal to build a top9 of golden children so Katz can run his fingers through their hair or what? Their problems are so easily solvable it's pathetic and sad. Literally any other franchise would've bit the bullet by now to fix the team.
