Huge warning sign (at that time) for falling players.

The trend was falling for a reason with the Oilers being the league's biggest culprit of dropping their own list and taking the falling player year after year.

Could easily have changed, but sometimes players fall for a good reason.
Totally agree. Generally, they should be trying to predict where the player will be in a couple of years so trajectory means everything. Always avoid the players dropping IMO.
