easy there, everything is fine with the oilers. I don't think they need to change anything at all. Everything is going exactly as it should.

As for McDavid, he is an "offensive dynamo" and that's it. He isn't a good all around player, he doesn't have what it takes to win, he's not a good captain/leader and his attitude seems to begetting worse. I don't think it's fair to just blame the oilers on this, he needs to be blamed a lot too. Sure, the oilers won the lottery and drafted him and he did look crushed when he realized it was them but the thing is, he signed an extension. He had to have known how bad it was before he ever played a game there, then he did play there and had to have seen it first hand. But to know how much of a tire fire that team is and to want to sign an extension with them...that's just dumb. He deserves all the criticism he gets at this point. He could have got that money from anyone, he'd have a better chance of winning ANYWHERE else and I doubt any other team would be dumb enough to make him the captain before he played a game.

It's not fair to just blame the oilers for being so bad...he decided to stay there and he's an idiot for doing so.
