It’s satisfying to see the oilers changes in the offseason making them a worse team. It was obvious to most of us on here but it “somehow” eluded the Sportsnet and TSN talking heads. The oilers got older and slower. They basically sent out every depth forward that played any kind of defensive game so that they could sign old, one-dimensional forwards that mostly only produce when given big minutes.
They have no first round pick to trade this year for help. Their goaltending looks awful. Their defence is awful. They have a Stanley cup hangover without the Stanley cup. I would not be surprised if they end up missing the playoffs by a few points.
