Something has got to give for those Oilers

    Tonight a team that for the last five years has been labelled as a young up and coming group faced yet another loss in what is shaping up to be another horrible year for the Edmonton Oilers. A team with so much young talent and so many number one overall picks should surely sit higher in the standings. Having drafted the likes of Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov and Connor McDavid first overall, along with high picks in Eberle, Nurse and Drasisaitl. Surly this team should at the very least have offensive flair, but you'd be wrong in assuming that. After watching the game tonight the only members of the Oilers team that stood out to me were Taylor Hall and Connor McDavid, the team looks flat. Is it time to make a major trade? Should the Oilers still be preaching patients? Maybe the answers lies not in the fault of the players but in the management staff who assembled this team, I personally believe it goes back to one crucial decision that has now cost them up to this point, lets have a look. If the Oilers has drafter Tyler Seguin back in 2010 instead of Taylor Hall there would have been no need to draft RNH the next year because they would already have had their #1 centre so they could have made the safe choice and taken Landeskog, who as we all know is a dependable two way winger. Next they wouldn't have had to take the player who so far is turning into a bit of a flop in Nail Yakupov and instead addressed a need and taken a very reliable defenceman in Ryan Murray who could have been there top man for years to come. These simple choices could have changed the whole dynamic for this team, they would be a more responsible team in there own end and would have a bigger offensive zone presence because of being able to move the puck better. Now by no means do I think this Oilers team will turn into a total bust as players like Hall, Eberle, McDavid, Nurse and Drasisaital are all turning into very good NHL players, but the question still remains as to what to do with the leftovers in RNH, Yakupov and Shultz, if it were me in Edmonton I would trade them while the value is high and reap the rewards. At least those are my thoughts, what are yours? Let me know in the comments below.
