I think it's been asked elsewhere but, who was the last Ross winner to miss the playoffs? Open your eyes, it's not even questionable that the Oilers are ruining McDavid. Maybe another Lottery Pick will do the trick, it's obviously working so well.
If you can't give me a reason other than missing playoffs then you're really grasping at straws here.

What exactly do the Oilers have to be happy about right now?

I mean I could list a litany of reasons the team is headed in the wrong direction.

Chiarelli is still GM.
Lucic is signed forever.
Sekera looks like toast.
Klefbom may be on the block.
The depth scoring is.....
Literally every player that leaves Edmonton seems to thrive elsewhere.

But yeah the only thing wrong is that you somehow defied the odds and missed the POs.
Do I need to go on?

2nd (40th)+Benning+ Maksimov/Safin?

Nope.

Maksimov is a hard pass. The kid has real NHL upside.

Safin id say should be off limits given how shallow our forward prospects are and even 40th and Benning is too much to give up for an unextended Gardiner.

I think Edmonton would be very interested in some kind of Liljegren and Marner trade, if that is what is being proposed. Some salary has to go back.

wait you want liljegren and marner for pick 9? lol. not even sure the leafs move liljegren for that pick.
also unless the return is nurse+puljujarvi+top 10 pick you aint getting near marner

Gardener to Pittsburgh makes sense. They make players good and they could use another defender.

No not the 9th alone... but you're suggesting a vast overpayment. And I know you meant Liljergen.

Had less than 50% 0f the teams in the League made the playoffs Gretzky would have been in the same boat. He turned out ok.

You asked me how Edmonton is ruining a Generational Talent. I just told you.
You explained why the team is bad, and trust me, us Oiler fans know that better than you do. Being a bad team doesn't mean ruining McDavid though. Ruining would imply that he isn't living up to his potential. Back to back Ross's and probable Lindsay's (and maybe Hart's) say otherwise.

Nobody calls Draisaitl elite, he's an emerging top line player though for sure, back to back 70 point seasons. And we have a better defense core than most think, but it does have a glaring hole - nobody to run things on the powerplay or top line. We had a disappointing season, yes. But it is in fact possible for bad teams to have good players. It just so happens that our GM did a horrible job of bringing in depth scoring for this past season. We basically had 3 top six forwards.

oilers arent getting marner unless they decide they wanna ship mcdavid out, or offer an insane overpayment.
Klef+Pulju+Nurse would prob work.

the leafs probably value liljegren at least as highl;y as a dobson/smith type likely to be available with pick 9 so doubt there is anything to be had there. Oilers should just take Dobson.
