Have you forgotten how the NHL works whenever the Oiler franchise is concerned? Theft of draft picks for McLennan, Chiarelli, Lucic, length of suspensions, last years bump into the play-in pool.. you can't ever expect the "reasonable thing" from the NHL when it comes to the Oilers.. and when you said the NHL wasn't happy about top seeds losing in teh play-in, I don't think that includes Oilers losing to Chicago, I think it gave them a happy face.

You forgot to mention the crap reffing.
In defence of the NHL, the Oilers did get a load of #1 and other high picks by tanking and turned those into a controlling powerhouse team consistently at the top....um, I mean, a decade of darkness. The Oilers also complained intensely to get a new CBA with a salary cap and promptly blew up the terms with the Penner/Vanek affairs. The team is at the cap dollar-in-dollar-out point with a few incredible talents but is still a dysfunctional organization that no one believes is a serious contender.
Why should the NHL treat The Oilers any differently than they have? This team has no cred except for Connor and Leon and I'll bet the League can't wait for them to join the Leafs.
|
To be fair it is a myth that the Oilers were blowing up the CBA with the offer sheets. Theirs were neither the first nor the most numerous of the offer sheets. The Oilers were a victim of RFA signings as much or more than any other team. The idiotic statements Lowe made in his defense and his arrogance are more memorable for me.
