The Oilers are headed to another decade of darkness. We will see if they can pull off a few more future crushing moves at the upcoming trade deadline.
I guess there is always a third liner in the KHL Oiler fans can pin their future hopes on.

It's funny that they have to pump what would be C+ or B- prospects in any other teams system as slam dunk top 9 nhlers.
Just standing pat this summer would have them in a much, much better spot from a future outlook.
RNH/Hyman/Ekholm could pass the torch to these kids and it could buy them a couple more years of competitiveness.
Instead they had to get their hands in that clay and do stuff. And we all know how that goes.
Still a complete circus buoyed by a couple lotteries.
