Yes the Oilers have been rebuilding since 2007, probably before since that team relied on a bunch of rental players and Roloson playing the best hockey of his career.
Still this year, to help with the baby steps we traded our most developed first overall pick and still didn't do anything to add a top tier defenseman. Our only hope is that Klef keeps improving the way he has and Davidson surprises us with another impressive jump in his game. Barring that we need our young guys to improve during the off season as we did nothing to improve the team. With the exception of adding a better back up tender and again our first round pick is decent and we might need him to play this year.
The only thing Chiarelli has proven he can do is draft his first pick with the consensus player. Then he just grabs big guys that are either injury prone or can't really play.
I would be happy if we managed to finish out of the bottom 5. Which is possible. I think we will be on the bubble but Luckily WIN, TOR, NYR, VAN and CAR look pretty awful. Fingers crossed that we can at least pass those guys. - Hall Fan

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria.

What are you talking about? Should he not have drafted Connor & Jessie? Big guys who can't play or injury prone? WTF. NYR & Win look awful? You are an example of you can't coach stupid...
