Part of the Oilers problem is I think they have too many players who I deem dimensionless on their team.

I can tell you were listening to Stauffer today! I think someone called in and coined the term "dimensionless" .. to describe the bottom 6.. which I thought is a perfect term for them.. can't score, not hard on the forecheck, make defensive mistakes, weak in their own zone, and bring zero threat of physicality or intimidation (maybe Foegle.. recently)
Can't have "dimensionless" players on a contending NHL team = Oiler problem (one of..)

You guys are yearning for the Steve Tambellini era, when every guy signed would have a specific role. A fighter, a designated hitter, a penalty killer or two, a face-off guy...that's just a really bad strategy for building teams. We saw just how impactful it was for Tambo, because the face-off guy couldn't make or take a pass, the penalty killers were useless at even strength, the hitter couldn't do anything with the puck and the fighter was a massive liability if he couldn't immediately get a fight.
Honestly, the bottom six looked better last game than we've seen in a while. The third line was probably our best all night long. They got shots, they got chances, they forechecked, they cycled, they showed confidence to make moves.
The fourth line also had several good shifts. Devin Shore probably should have had a goal, Holloway had some looks and looked less uncertain than we've seen in the past - he's starting to look more comfortable.
The story of the Kings game wasn't the bottom six. They need to put up some goals at some point, but they did the right things in that game. If every game from the bottom six looked like that, we're in better shape.
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
