Remember when the Oilers couldn’t stop boasting about their last-place team filled with young superstars Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall, and Nail Yakupov? We had no squabble with the Oilers at the time, other than our two AHL games a year, but still, Oilers fans could never stop boasting about their “young core.” Now, with all those players in their prime years, all the Oilers have to show for it is the last year of RNH and Adam Larsson in the last years of their contracts. Literally nothing else. Only an incomprehensibly pathetic franchise could bungle that core.
