So I hate to do this, but does this add to the evidence that this Oilers organization just cannot evaluate / develop talent? A lot of these players are former Oilers and not in the NHL.
Several players just never developed properly to make it to the NHL level as consistent role players / secondary scorers (Omark, Lander, Thoreson, Arcobello, Hartikainen)
Others were acquired later in their years to fill in roles at the end of their careers that perhaps they couldn't live up to? (Roy, Klinkhammer, Scrivens) ... actually I guess Roy was pretty good with Yakupov while he was here...
Regardless.. it kind of just reinforces to me how poor this organization is at recognizing / developing talent.
That being said, I hope all of these players have a good time and cherish playing for their respective countries. It's quite an opportunity.
