The roster for that Oilers team is absolutely brutal though.
Look at the top 6
McDavid
Draisaitl
Nugent Hopkins
Alex Chaisson
Lucic
Kassian
That is a great first line and a bad third/fourth line. The team was unable to draft outside of the first overall pick and as a result they had/have absolutely no depth or quality young players. And when they had a good pick in Eberle they managed to run him out of town for a disappointing playoff for Strome who they then ran out of town for Ryan Spooner who turned into old expensive Sam Gagner. They turned a house into a red paperclip in record time.
