Remember when the Oilers were dominating the league? Well, they're now holding onto the 2nd wildcard spot and seem to be only going downwards.

These people must be so easy to manipulate.
JBB mentioned regular season vs playoff analytics, which isn't even a thing yet online. I can't wait for the hot takes to come out of that.

I do think that there's a huge confirmation bias for a lot of stuff that some bloggers have developed.

Look - have a model and see where it goes. But dont take them as definitive, especially if the results end up sounding absurd. Analytics are still in their infancy.

I think they'd be better off selling, but I also think this could make them better, though obviously not much. Kovalchuk can still shoot at least. And, if he can just get himself in position, MTL has guys who can find him. They severely lack finishers, as we saw last night.

If Montreal didn't have so many injuries, they maybe wouldn't have even signed him.

Their GM is trying to save his job. I agree the better move for that franchise would be to sell and get a nice draft choice and keep building.
