I think they need to find a good goalie through trade. Even if you lose the trade on paper.
You can't just throw an entire season with such mediocrity in net.

There's going to be changes coming up I would have suspect within a week. Can't wait to see what Kenny Holland's going to do.

Nice of them to keep company with Calgary in the standings.

With that division, I'd say they'll probably still make it.
But they've got a lot of work to do if they want to be a major threat come playoff time, if they make it that far.

They won't remain this bad, but they are digging themselves quite the hole

No idea what to make of Edmonton.
70 games left, lots of time to turn this around.
P.S. How long until McDavid asks for a trade?

Way to early to judge any team....I am amazed at how many people think the season is determined in the first few games of the season...if the Oilers are still playing bad by game 20, then I will be concerned....in the NHL the first 15 to 20 games is no place to judge a teams season...indeed in some cases even longer......the Oilers still have plenty of time to turn this around.
It isn’t over yet, but there is such a thing as digging too deep of a hole. They need to start getting some points and at least treading water.

They must of sat around and played cards.
What a catastrophe. They don't look like an NHL team never mind a contender. Even if they can salvage the season and squeak into the playoffs they'll get railroaded by whoever they face in the first round.

You're making their lack of bottom-six depth sound much worse than it actually is!!
McLeod got 1 secondary assist today, and Derek Ryan got an assist on an empty-net goal a few days ago. SEE!! They have some depth.
All joking aside, the Oilers' top-six is great and will get it going eventually. They're in the worst slump in five years or something and McDavid and Drai are still both on 100 point paces, Kane is suddenly playing very well, Hyman just had a great game, Nuge always shows up in the second half, etc.
Their defense is awful at present, but might recover to mid-range again if Eckholm gets healthy and they stop playing Campbell, who needs to be bought out.
But that bottom-six.... Real teams gets consistent and regular support -- even goals, occasionally -- from the bottom half of the forwards. The Oilers get nothing. Nothing. Nada. A big fat ZERO.
Since Chiarelli destroyed the line-up in the summer of 2017, they have not been able to recover a consistent bottom-six that wasn't vying for worst in the League. No wonder McDavid and Draisaitl and tired and frustrated.
agree. the players need be disciplined and play hard defense. woody is soft to star players
Edmonton needs to play San Jose ASAP in order to feel good about themselves again and get confidence going.
LA
That or Calgary again lol. Edmonton could make the playoffs if their schedual was strictly calgary and San Jose lol

Here comes Skinner
A trade (modest-significant) or a coaching change (again) has to be coming, right?
Obviously, goaltending is sinking them, but Holland has to do something to try and right the ship.

Odd. The records of the top 3 teams in each division:
Pacific: 26-4-4
Atlantic: 21-8-5
Central: 19-9-3
Metro: 21-10-2
Seems to me it'll be harder to catch up to the top 3 in that division.

Well, at some point in time Kenny will get a goalie for a 1st round. Steve Y signed 3 capable goalies for a reason.
His level of play dropped by a fair bit in the finals. I don’t think that long lay-off between the conference and Cup finals did him any good.

It’s starting to get out of control. Vegas is already up by 18 points.
Just have that weird feeling about the upcoming Sharks game, which is beyond pathetic to worry about.
