This team is by no means a Cup contender. At this point they look no better than a wild card team. If this continues I would be so concerned with cap accrual for the deadline , I’d be selling instead.

Let's be real here though, no way those guys get the same opportunities / minutes here. They'd be buried with the rest of the non-Country Club members.
McLeod and Foegele are getting 3rd line minutes and linemates…like they would here. Holloway is getting top 6 time which…we are giving Podkolzin top 6 minutes….
And Broberg would be playing in the top 4 on his off wing here too.
So what opportunities and minutes are they getting?

Oilers goalies are 88.5% and 88.6%... those are decent numbers in 1985 but now... not so much.

They are definitely part of the problem no matter how much people point out that the team can't score and can't PK and can't score on the PP either.

When everything is shit at the same time... you are going to likely have MANY problem players on the team and you can point the finger at basically everyone needing to be better.
What’s funny is if you look at the numbers our PK is actually doing very well, well the skaters are. Skinner is just shitting the bed.

So by this measure wouldn't that mean that Skinner was solely responsible for our amazing PK in the playoffs last year? Or are we not ready for that conversation?
