The Oilers broadcasts last year were all about McDavid and Draisaitl and then to a lesser extend Nurse, Smith, and Kane.... you can just name 5 or so names and that's the team... no one else really matters... everyone else are just "the other Oiler players"... so they tend to blend in...
Oilers broadcasts do tend to promote Nugent-Hopkins as an elite level defensive centre savant without rival, which is patently ridiculous.
