Do you still believe in this core?

I'm talking about our core, man. Hall, Nuge, Eberle, Yakupov, Nurse, Schultz, Draisaitl (if you want include our top picks plus Schultz) average age is barely 21. Yeah they're kids and surrounded by expensive nobodies.

Guess what? The contracts the oilers gave out in the off season has now added Pouliot, Fayne and a few others who have been added to what the core is actually

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
The core isn't the players. It's management and coaching. A lot of teams around the league don't have impressive cores (see Arizona) but they have good solid management and coaching.

I believe in most of the core. We just need to move out a few of the players for different type of players. My untouchables would be Hall, Yakupov, RNH, Draisaitl and Nurse. Each one of those players offers something different/a much needed element. Schultz is fine as a 3rd pairing/PP specialist but he is getting paid more then he's worth. Eberle, Perron and one of Marincin or Klefbom need to be traded for a top pairing defenceman and some 2 way players.

Hall, Eberle, Yakupov, RNH, Draisaitl, Schultz aren't the problem, the problem is their coach is complete garbage and they have no support
Schultz should NOT be playing 27 minute games. Draisaitl should not be in the NHL.
Your entire 1st line should not be 22 and under.

the five year deal to Pouliot and four years to Fayne made them part of the core--whether you like it or not

They were added to surround the core with experience. They aren't actually the core. The most important part of the team is not them, which is what defines the core.

I believe in the core with the exception of Eberle. He does get a lot of points obviously, but he is a player with value that I would trade. He is 'shy' out there and it's shocking that he got a letter. (although we don't know what goes on in the dressing room). It doesn't look like management plans on trading him, but if they do, it should be before his value drops.
