The Edmonton Oilers have struggled to develop talent. They are in desperate need to surround Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Leon Draisaitl with quality wingers, defensemen and goaltenders.
The Oilers made some questionable decisions with Peter Chiarelli running the show. With Chiarelli’s tenure in Edmonton over, there has been a changing of the guard and Ken Holland has flown from Detroit to get the Oilers back up to speed.
While the Oilers have had a difficult time supplying McDavid with talented teammates, they do have a few prospects in their system that could emerge in the next few seasons.
