Yep. I just can't understand how they played LA 3 years in a row and identified Arvidson as the guy they needed to target for the first day of free agency. Our kid in the candy store interim GM was just excited to get whoever had an agent that would call him back.

Arvidsson had 10 points in 11 games in the last two series against Edmonton. He has been hurt a lot, but when he's played he's been one of their best players against us.

Somehow, the Oilers just have crushed the offence out of everyone not named McDavid or Draisaitl though this year. I do blame coaching.

Arvidsson last 2 years - 74 points in 95 games. With the Oilers? 27 in 67.
Jeff Skinner? 128 in 153 games and now 29 in 72.
Adam Henrique? 80 in 122 before joining Edmonton and 36 in 103 Oilers games.

Some of that is no PP time for sure, but even so, these players often don't look dangerous at all now.
