No question - the Oilers inability to develop players outside of the first round is part of the reason why they've sucked for the bulk of the last 20 years. However, you can't fix that overnight, and if you have significant holes in your lineup, then you need to acquire guys another way. The draft isn't the only route.
Now is 20 games of Brassard worth the chance of some kid we draft next year making the team 5 years after that? He doesn't have to add a lot in order to cover the bet. He scores a goal or two in the playoffs and I think we can call it a wash.
The Oilers need to improve their development and drafting, for sure, but one 4th rounder isn't going to be a massive difference maker, and if McDavid and Draisaitl leave because of lack of playoff success, it doesn't matter anyhow. We're sunk then.
I agree that Brassard doesn't move the needle much for me, but neither does a 2023 4th rounder. I can't lose sleep over someone who has a significant percent chance of never playing a game.

And the cycle continues because we don't have enough 11% chances and likely won't find a functional player. Maybe if we actually used all the picks we are given, then we'll have enough 11% chances to get somebody, but no, we'll just move them for players that are only as good as the guys we already have and we'll have this same argument 5 years from now.
