Who's fault is it that our entire 2nd line that makes 16.5 million a year isn't producing like they have in previous years? Should we blame that on Chiarelli too? They're all having down years and we're still winning games.
- Ihatebrianburke

Down years? Not so sure about that. When has any of those guys been drivers of offence? I bet if Taylor Hall was on that line we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Agreed

Me too Grandpa Iggysbff

Think they'll fall for it?

Maybe if they need to get to the cap floor. Not if Davidson is available

Yes, secondary scoring is as bad as I say it is.

McDavid and Draisaitl -- Clearly ahead of everyone else
Eberle, RNH, and Pouliot -- Bad years... If they were playing decent, imagine where the Oilers would be now.
Lucic -- Producing at Lucic levels. Looks like he disappears, but still producing at an expected pace.
Maroon -- Doing great
Letestu -- Producing at a good rate
Kassian -- Producing well for where he is in the lineup
Pitlick -- Was doing very well until his injury
Caggiula -- Creating opportunities and pitching in with some offense. He's a (frank)ing rookie.
Slepyshev -- Contributing... Has shown he belongs. He's a (frank)ing rookie.
Puljujarvi -- Was producing at a better pace than Draisaitl was in his rookie season... Puljujarvi will be great.
Sekera -- Producing offensively
Klefbom -- Producing offensively
Larsson -- Defensive beast who is starting to produce offensively (with no PP time)
Benning -- Has shown he can produce offensively... And he's a (frank)ing rookie.

You guys worry way too much, and need a Valium... This team is much better (from top to bottom) than it was in the past.

Not every line needs a driver. Guys that play hard and play a system well have success a lot in this league.

Hey, you've been on this site 11 years.

And Chia is the only one who has done anything decent in that amount of time.

McDavid and Draisaitl -- Clearly ahead of everyone else
Eberle, RNH, and Pouliot -- bust years... If they were playing decent, imagine where the Oilers would be now.

Maroon -- bust great
Letestu -- Producing at a good bust
Kassian -- Producing bust for where he is in the lineup
Pitlick -- Was bust very well until his injury
Caggiula -- Creating opportunities and pitching in with some offense. He's a (frank)ing bust.
Slepyshev -- Contributing... Has shown he belongs. He's a (frank)ing bust.
Puljujarvi -- bust

Oh thank God we're not the worst team in the league anymore. The scorched earth rebuild was worth this!

We're doing extremely well while we have 3 very talented guys having terrible years, and while we have 4/5 rookies in our lineup who will very likely become much better. This team is in a very good position.

So sad that none of our young players will ever get any better and this is as good as we'll ever be. We have no assets to move. No free agents will sign here. We are doomed to be a team that just continually gets in the playoffs

Huh? Yeah, those guys are called support players, and they usually play with a driver .

Caggiula, Slepyshev, Puljujarvi, Benning, Khaira... Rookies that have all shown that they have what it takes to be in the NHL. Exciting stuff

The team will get better. With any luck we already have a future #1D developing in the system somewhere.
