Did you expect this team given where the idiot previous GM left it, to be any better depth wise? Chia gutted the depth. He traded a decent 3rd line center in Strome for a guy who can't play in the NHL. He traded a decent bottom 6 winger in Caggulia for a dman who probably at best and I might be high, plays 15 games a season for any team. Some teams none. The Oilers 3rd line should probably be:
Caggulia - Strome - whoever.
That wouldn't be a horrible 3rd line. All Chia had to do was NOTHING and his team would have been better off last season. Chia would have been better off just to trade Strome and Caggulia for picks. At least then the Oilers wouldn't have 3.15 in Gagner and 2.2 in Manning to deal with. I don't care who's the GM, you don't recover from trades that bad in 1 offseason.
With the amount of times people mention the lack of depth and leaning on McDavid and Leon over and over again. It's pretty much daily. It's almost like people are surprised. I get accused of being too positive and even I had my doubts about all these guys. I just hoped a couple would be able to put in 10 goals but didn't think they all would.

I remember floating this before the season and you saying they couldn't possibly be worse than last year and that we were in a MUCH better position...and then again when Gagner got sent down, because you didn't think he could skate with NHLers, and thought the other bottom 6ers were a much better fit...
I do think there was likely more than could have been done this summer, but Holland saw this year a lost cause. It will be interesting to see how the Oilers respond to this surge - especially if it continues through November. If we are a contending team without significant contributions from the depth, well, first off, that just shows just HOW good our top players are, and secondly, at some point the management has to throw these guys a lifeline. I expect the first help comes from the minors, but there's a limit to what we have there. We don't have the third line center who can be a catalyst on the farm, and Holland will have to go out and get that guy - no matter what it takes.
