Not to mention Gagner, Cogliano, RHN, and Yakupov who all put up great numbers as rookies getting big minutes yet failed to become complete hockey players and immediately regressed. It's not a stretch to say all four of them should have been given another season of development to bulk up and work out their kinks.
When it comes to the development of first round picks the Oilers are a lesson in what not to do.
