Even worse, this is year they're playing only against five mediocre teams and Ottawa. This division should be a free run to the conference finals. But instead of trying to win it all, they go into the season with a defense that wasn't good enough to beat the #12 Blackhawks (minus their best defenseman) AND with a goalie they know isn't good enough to be a starter (why try for Markstrom, if you believe in Koskinen?).
So far, McDavid's career has been a waste.
|
Also - is there another team in the league who's so transparent about who they tried and failed to sign in free agency? I don't think it helps the team at all to have that information out there, but every single year you get the leak that the Oilers were right there on that guy as well...It's embarrassing.

This year it was absolutely necessary to ease people into the eventual throwing in the towel and signing Smith.
Koskinen - guy we tried to replace
Smith - guy we settled on as we watched the market dry up.
Just all oozes confidence and competence.

It's not like we don't have assets we could use in a trade. Caleb Jones had solid stats going in to this season, and the coach seems to have him ranked around #9 on the depth chart, so put him in play. Put any draft pick in the next couple of years in play. Samorukov likely can't pass enough guys on the depth chart to be a top four Oilers defenceman so dangle him too. McLeod, Savoie, Lavoie, even Holloway. We need to win now, so if it takes parting with some of the future to get a goalie, you have to get it done. The pitch you make to a team with two good goalies is that they can only play one of those at a time, but a guy like Jones could play regularly, plus we'll add sweeteners. We need a netminder.
