You'd think the Oilers would be "damn good" by now, but nope... still haven't figured out glaring holes in their game. Year after year.

It is quite frustrating. Even with 15 years of "rebuilding" and armed with arguably the 2 best players in the world, one of the best in the history of the NHL, here we sit at the end of November outside of a playoff position looking up at, amongst others, 2 teams that didn't even exist when we drafted McDavid.
Is Seattle doing this year what Vegas did their first year? Their goalies have been OK - around middle of the pack. Their PP is a little better than average (12th with 22.6%), PK is not very good (25th with 74.6%). So how are they 3 points up on us with a game in hand? Well, only thing I can see is even though they don't have a McDavid or a Draisaitl, they have 13 guys with 8+ points so far. We have 7. It's a problem we've harped about for years, yet the results never seem to change - we are getting nothing from our bottom 6.
