Walking up to draft Puljujarvi was the moment in time that the Oilers had the most assets to have a strong decade ahead.

Before walking up to draft Puljujarvi the Oilers had a young core of:

Connor McDavid on ELC
Leon Draisaitl on ELC
Taylor Hall - 24 years old
Jordan Eberle - 26 years old
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - 23 years old
Oscar Klefbom - 23 years old
Darnell Nurse - 21 years old
Andrej Sekera - 30 years old
Cam Talbot
Nail Yakupov, Pat Maroon, and Justin Schultz
And...the 4th Overall pick

Then Peter Chiarelli happened.

I will maintain for the rest of my life that the Oilers should have traded the 4th overall + other assets for a top defenseman. That team was ready to contend for a long time and didn't need another high pick.

Clean house or bust
