So many people seem to think the oilers will be better than last year simply because of McDavid. They had McDavid all season last year and were still terrible.
I’ll try to reference this post at the end of November when the oilers are at the bottom of the Western conference and Staples comes out with an article saying “Jack Hughes is the final piece that the oilers need to become the powerhouse of the NHL” and the tank for Hughes in Edmonton will be on. They’ll finish a terrible team once again. McDavid will get his 100 points. They’ll win the draft lottery. Ron McClean: “Not if but when”.
And then we start all over again as the oilers are out of it again by November 2019. Staples: “Lafrenière/Byfield is all this team needs to become a contender.” Tank is on. Draisaitl gets traded in the summer of 2020 for a #4-5 defenceman.
And the cycle continues... a never ending cycle of No Good.
