You cannot develop, or even engage other players in that scenario.
Three guys average over 23 minutes, and the other 9 guys average under 12 minutes, and then everyone blames the bottom 6 for not doing enough. It doesn't take long before those guys say FU!

It actually averages out to 23:33 for the big 3 and if you add Yaomoto and Kassian who got around 16 each. The rest hardly played.
Jesse got 13 mins last night but Oilers media and fans thinking he will get 60 points. Good luck.
They basically played 3 dmen too. Larsson, Koekkoek and Jones were all around 15 mins.
McDavid Nuge Leon and Barrie all got around 7 mins on the PP too. Ask how players develop offensively when they get 0 opportunity. I think most of the PP time for the rest of the team came on a clear with less than 20 seconds on the PP and basically time for 1 last rush. Not real PP time but sure they got a few seconds in the boxscore. Edmonton is no good
