The biggest mistake the Oilers might have made is they traded the guys they needed to help bridge the gap once the stars got raises (Mcleod, Holloway, Broberg), and instead gave short term contracts to aging vets.
Oilers window would look a lot better if they gave McLeod, Holloway, and Broberg some longer term deals that could be seen as an underpay in 2-3 seasons.
