All five of the Oilers’ big guns in the 80s had multiple 100-point seasons with the team. On the current roster, only Mavi and Pissy have ever broken 100, and they had to blow off all defensive responsibilities to do it. Even era-adjusted, the current Oilers have nothing like the firepower they had back then.
That’s why, 40 years ago, the Oilers got 119 points in an 80-game season with no 3-point games, and this year they’re on a pace for 89 — below the league average.
