It's all downhill from there, without a continued supply of first overalls. Mediocre to rubbish talent coming down the pipeline for them. Already abysmal depth on the team.

A 40 year goaltender is all that is propping things up in the crease. Just scream sustainable.

On a one way train to mediocreville and Connor wants off it.
Yeah, there isn't much coming down the pipe. Bouchard was draft in 2018. The Oilers don't have the luxury of waiting 3 or 4 years for prospects to pan out. If that trend continues, the Holloway and any future picks won't be much help when McDavid is in the final year of his 8 year contract. That is, if he is still in Edmonton.
