I'm confused, where is this depth? Am I missing something? The Oilers have some of the worst defensive depth in the league and literally not one player on the farm team to come play any real minutes.

Mcdavid blinders are real. He alone gives each player on the team +10 to all skills and casts confusion and charm on all reporters.
Also, defence in modern NHL is more about your offence than it is about keeping pucks out of your own net. No more “a goal prevented=a goal for” mentality.
On this topic, I saw a cray trade proposal where the oil send ackey and ekholm out for Jake dedrusk. Same thing was said there, “oilers d is so deep they can afford to send out their only defensive D man and their only D prospect and they will still be fine!”
Lunacy.
