I know you want to regale us with oilers did it stories, but it’s math that some teams make it.

It’s like saying that the oilers always make bad moves. Always is 100%.

Of course the oilers don’t always make bad moves. Which ones are good? I’ll let you know when I see one.
Right, I agree, it’s not a blanket statement, similar to how a 6th or 7th Dman can’t be a puck mover. Things change and you work with what you have to work with. Outside the conventional wisdom is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it works, where staying conventional doesn’t.
