Beyond me how anyone can blame anything except terrible management at this point. McDavid and Drai would be doing just fine on a properly run team. Sadly, that may get proven in a few years :(

Team will never be a consistent contender with the Lowe/Bobby Burgers buddy gang.


100%. Since 2006, how many players, coaches, and GMs have we gone through? Back then it was "if only we could have gotten a Crosby or even a Stamkos" - well here we are with one of the best to ever play the game and another guy who is a perennial Hart and Art Ross contender, yet here we still sit, right around the middle of the pack.

Sure we could use another Dman or 2 (how good would a healthy Klefbom and Larsson look right now?), but at the end of the day, everyone at every position has changed multiple times over, except the guys at the top. And nothing has changed.

And not that he's "at the top", but how the hell is Dustin Schwartz still employed by the team?



Because the organization as a whole exists as a protected entity. They're local deities and employ a whole army of priests to protect their interests. If you're fighting the Oilers and those who represent the Oilers you're fighting a multi-million dollar machine that is exists solely to deny this very viewpoint and keep the cash flowing.




Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
