So who's the Nik Lidstrom for the Oilers to help fill that model correctly.

Omark is flashy and talent, but he's not as good as PRV.

Sure could. It would just be made up of scrubs and fringe players. So really no different from what we have been seeing.

Same team minus it's top scorers and more interesting talents... so not at all the same team.

This point was beaten to death last year, and you blogger types were wrong then.

Yeah, god knows how the team would have done without all the top scorers and most interesting talent. Might have finished last or something.

What point is that? That sometimes it's a good idea not to rush young players into the NHL? Because on that score, there's nothing settled. if you're talking about the ELC thing, even that's not settled yet. But whatever floats your boat.
