Colorado has a much better futures collection than Edmonton. Made the playoffs last year, and would have easily made it this year with average goaltending.
I don't know if there's much help coming for Edmonton, unless they win a top draft pick if they miss the playoffs.
Their goaltending tanked their season. The team is in much better shape than the oilers, and have better futures.After that good season last year they're right back to the same level the Oilers at and MacK is now in his 6th season.
I'm just saying it's kinda hypocritical that one is hand waved away.
The problem with that is that lemieuxs penguins missed the playoffs because of divisional seeding format, not because of horrific performance.Mario Lemieux? Turned out to have a pretty good career too.
Give it some time.

By "futures" I meant picks and prospectsWell no one can really tell the future.
I hope for both their sakes they can get it together but right now both are having poor seasons yet again.
The oilers still have no future in sight.After that good season last year they're right back to the same level the Oilers at and MacK is now in his 6th season.

Wow. I didn't know that. Well if McDavid has the same success that Joe eventually did, I'm sure no one will consider McDavid to have been wasted.Joe Sakic with the '89-90 Nordiques team that totaled 12 wins. After his 102 points the team's second best scorer at the end of the season was defenseman Michel Petit with 36.
The oilers still have no future in sight.
The avs have some decent dmen prospects and will likely pick up 2 elite players in one draft this year. The avs are shaping up to be a powerhouse in the near future.
Yeah let's hold on planning the parade just yet, in six years with MacK they've missed the playoffs several times, are as bad as the Oilers currently after what should have been a break out season, and haven't won a playoff round in ages.
Sorry no.
Are currently better.
Have some good young d in samuel girard, barrie, and zadorov.
Great young forwards obviously.
Have 2 more top d prospects in makar and timmins. And 2 picks that will yield some realllly good players in this draft.
The oilers have mcdavid and a burning pile of feces.
And management that dont do their best imitation of the keystone cops.
Great. The avs are about to add an entire second line in one draft.Yeah a whopping 2 points better despite having two more years to work with in MacK.
One line offence doesn't work in the modern NHL both teams have failed at that.
The Avs goaltenders, out of 47 goalies to play 10 or more games since early December, are 46th and 47th in SV%.Yeah a whopping 2 points better despite having two more years to work with in MacK.
One line offence doesn't work in the modern NHL both teams have failed at that.
Oilers, Avs, Devils are examples of teams that basically rely on one offensive line to carry most of the mail, all had one season where a lot went right and they made the playoffs recently and then they collapse back into being a mediocre team the following year.

I've met him a few times at golf tournaments. Really nice guy. Made me feel bad that he never got a cup after seeing his numbers.Marcel Dionne. For his whole career.
Salming, Sundin.Tavares, Sedins, Thornton, and any star who never won the cup
