There is something fundamentally wrong in how the Edmonton Oilers handle talent on a daily basis. Let’s be more specific. This falls on squarely on Oilers management because for years they have squandered draft picks, prospects, and even current NHL talents as well.
They have never seemed to have any long term goals to develop players or how to utilize them on a game by game basis. It’s clearly disheartening to see how specific players many people expect to be impact stars right off the bat look like they don’t belong on the big stage and deserve to be in the minors.
