Sure sounds like an organizational systems issue to me.Bakersfield is having similar issues to the main team scoring wise.
They are second worst goals for per game in the league
Absolutely. Shots on goal don't seem to be an issue down here eitherSure sounds like an organizational systems issue to me.

How has Bear looked so far? I see he is putting up points on a team that is struggling to score but how does he look overall? How does his skating look at this level?
At this point they should be trying to acquire some let AHL vets that can score.I don't think it's a system issue with either the big club or the minor league team. We just have no offensive scoring talent in the NHL outside of McDavid, Drai and sometimes Nuge. And with Pulju on the big club right now we literally don't have a realistic NHL hopeful prospect at forward down there. Not one.
When our best forward down there is who... Joey Laleggia? Of course the team can't score.

At least Rattie is scoring for them. Actually look at stats alone looks like he's having his best year ever.
It is kinda sad though, but then again all our first from the past decade are in the NHL except Yamamoto. Not getting a couple of seasons in the AHL from our top prospects has hurt our AHL team.
On top of that we haven't properly addressed the coaching down there since Nelson left. Usually teams have a guy down there that they are slowly grooming to take over big club.The other thing that's hurt the AHL depth is that the Oilers pretty much gutted their 2015 draft picks after the McDavid selection in attempts to fill immediate needs.
The fallout of the Reinhart and Talbot trades, combined with the 3rd round pick they gave up as compensation for hiring McLellan, was that they gave up picks #16, 33, 57, 79 and 86. That's 5 picks in the top 100 of that deep draft that potentially could've been starting their pro careers in Bakersfield this year.

I really don't know what to make of Fleming. I mean he hasn't really developed and shocker of a player, but then again Slepy and Khaira were longshots to ever make it to the NHL. Then you add in what he's been given and the fact that the team has been better than 500 in his two years and you wonder if he's really that bad or just given a bad deckOn top of that we haven't properly addressed the coaching down there since Nelson left.

He just does what Todd tells him to do for systems. He doesn't seem like much of a leader or a thinker, just an extension of the current coaching staff.I really don't know what to make of Fleming.

Liked the idea before, but with JP playing like an NHL player and Pakarinen helping get the PK back on track, there really aren't any roster spots left. I'm struggling to see how Slepyshev fits once he's healthy again...Still fully on team #CallUpRattie - just scored another PPG.
They can have Pakarinen back. Or pretty much anyone in the bottom six outside of Strome and Cammalleri.
By tanking for 10 years and building up a strong prospect.....f***The Oilers are the second lowest scoring team in the NHL
The Condors are the second lowest scoring team in the AHL
How did they pull that off?
It's a bold strategy, Cyclone. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.By tanking for 10 years and building up a strong prospect.....****
Dahlin would be AHL eligible next yearIt's a bold strategy, Cyclone. Let's see if it pays off 'em.

Are the Condors playing the same systems the Oilers do?By playing Todd's bang up system?
