It's basically the Homer Simpson strategy for success "I've been working on a plan. During the exam, I'll hide under some coats, and hope that somehow everything will work out."
Yeah I'm jaded because it's the Oilers doing this, not going to mince words... but we can't be the only group that feels this way?

The problem with "building teams" is the cap prevents you from keeping your team.
