So the Oilers decide to let Foegele, McLeod, Desharnais and Ceci go, and replace them with Arvidsson, Skinner, Stecher and Emberson. And they make no attempt to replace Kane, and in fact they purposefully try to keep him out of the lineup for the entire season. They get smaller, softer, and older. By design, and by choice.
Then, they discover that McDavid is having to fend for himself more.
And now, somehow, they conclude it's the league's fault.
