Edmonton Oilers

[phildadon86]

I dont know if anyone here really follows hockey, but the Edmonton Oilers are the most curious case in the NHL. 4 first overall picks in the last 6 seasons and they are still a bottom tier team. Here is an article describing the situation, and why it is such a weird situation.

"So, 4 1st overall picks in the last 6 years, this would normally turn your head and make you say, “Hey this team must be darn good.” Well, in the case of the Edmonton Oilers you would be sadly mistaken."

I follow hockey. As for the Oilers. Well, their issues are deeply rooted. A change of ownership followed by a change in philosophy (basically, players and other personal at the NHL and minor legal level) is probably needed.

They are suffering from rot from the inside out. They need to get the trash out. All these top picks are going to get tainted if deep rooted changes doesn't happen soon.
