How do we explain this season so far for the Edmonton Oilers? One of ups and downs, for sure. The Oilers have had good times, including a recent six-game winning streak and huge breakthroughs. They’ve had not-so-good times, including the injury of rookie Connor McDavid and their skids.
We also have those who have been recalled, those who have been sent down, those who have been waived and those who have been shuffled around in the Oilers lineup. Todd McLellan has had the opportunity to work with many players this season, including in training camp, and we are going to determine who has been good and just awful with the use of grades.
