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.

That's the funniest part of people declaring them contenders for years. They have no players that can progress. Broberg, Holloway, McLeod, even Foegle all had the potential to elevate their game.
With the Oilers roster now, it's aging players on the back half of their careers where they're, at best, hoping players maintain their level of play.
