What a complete failure of a deadline to fix deficiencies in an 11/10 go for it year.

Yes and no. I don't think there was a deal or deals that turned the Oilers into a reliably steady hockey team. For better or worse they're a high risk / high reward team that lives on its ability to outscore its problems. We can say we saw them developing into this years ago, but we can't change that now. To make a team that doesn't blow up like they did last night Holland and Jackson would have had to swap out a third of the team on the fly. Unless a Holland turned down a Nurse & Ceci trade for 2 clones of Ekholm they weren't going to improve enough on the backend to fix what we've been watching for the last few years. Stecher isn't enough on D and Henrique isn't enough for depth. So let's hope they score enough to force the opponent into making enough mistakes to allow enough scoring.
Their hands were tied because of cap constraints and asset management. We can grouse about who tied their hands, but we can't change that fact now.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
