It wasn't offense, or powerplay specialists that the Oilers needed.
They dropped a bunch of speed, they lost a couple of good penalty killers, their blueline is a trainwreck, and this season is really now, going to fall on the slopped shoulders of Skinner, and if he can't handle it, the Oilers are going to be this years major disappointment and disasters.
They still have to deal with the deadline in 6 days on Draisaitl, because if they don't sign him he becomes a major distraction.
