Gretzky was a phenomenal player, who was breaking records left and right. He also was on very good teams that won a lot of cups. The problem the oilers are having is that they can't connect that the cups were because of those factors together (generational player + complete roster), not that those factors were because of the cups. So they are working from a place of "If McDavid wins all the awards and breaks all the records, then that will be just like Gretzky, and since Gretzky won cups then McDavid for sure will which will mean we have a complete roster!"
And that's how you take a generational player, and a bonafied franchise player, and instead of building a team that uses that to be a multiple cup winner or runner up year in and year out, you build a hodgepodge of overhyped trash and run the team so poorly that it almost seems to be trying to not win anything.
