If you are a person who has the mindset that the Oilers management is completely incompetent as you have reference twice in this thread and countless other times, regardless of their record for the last several years, there will be no convincing you that any counter argument has any validity.

I mean, their record has been better the last couple of years, but McDavid/Drai outscored the 2nd highest duo in the league by 65 points last year. That's like adding a top line winger for free.

The fact that the best the team could muster was tied for 6th is a pretty bad indictment on management for not surrounding them with a better group. And McDavid and Draisaitl are even on team friendly deals! Their combined cap hit is less than that of McKinnon/Rantanen.

We've had both those guys here full-time since 2015. The Golden Knights have been in the league since 2017. McDavid's appeared in 49 playoff games. The Knights have WON 52 post-season games. They're in their 2nd Finals, compared to the Oilers ZERO in the McDavid era. They have been in the semi-finals four times, compared to just once for the Oilers. They've missed the playoffs once, compared to three misses for the Oilers.

This is a team that was built originally off castoffs from the other 29 teams. They haven't had any first round picks play a major role in their success. They drafted early just once, in their first year (picking Cody Glass).

All those stories that the Edmonton media has force-fed us about how you need to be bad to be good, you need to tear down and build through the draft, etc. It doesn't actually matter - it's about competent management and understanding what's actually required to build a winning team.

If the Oilers had the management team that has led the Knights (not just the GM too - but the head office), then we're likely Cup Champions in the McDavid era already, and possibly with multiple Cups. If Holland and company ran the Knights? I doubt they'd be anything close to where they are now.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
