You can definitely argue that a total lack of D depth is burying the team right now. And that 3 years was not enough to fully remedy that if you are only looking at Chia. BUT, there are also lots of guys in management that have been here far beyond the last 3 years. And they all were here and in the room agreeing to moves that tossed away loads of assets to barely move the needle for D depth.
|
Now now. D help is on the way... Chia has restocked the cupboard. It’ll be fixed internally with Bouch, Jones, Bear and Lagesson
Well just have to endure another year or two after this season of defenceless oilers.
|
Bouchard is the only one of those guys that looks likely to be a top 4 D though. I would not be at all surprised if Bear and Jones top out as 6/7 guys (on a good team). Lagesson is a very big longshot right now.
Forward prospect pool is full of bottom 6 at best guys, except maybe Yams, but Yams isn't doing much at even strength in the A yet. He might be 2 years away still.
The clown show is very much set to keep going on.

I agree with this. The good news? Our bottom 6 overall is pretty terrible so maybe some of those A guys with fix that problem for PC
If Bouchard can push a few guys down the lineup and the others you mention push a few more off the team the Oilers will be close to a respectable D core.
Watching this game just strengthens my resolve on the statement "Depth shallower than a puddle"
Half of this team barely belongs in the NHL. a quarter are playing a role above their skill and the other 25% is in the right spot.
