Are you starting to doubt whether the Oilers can play a complete game? What does the Oilers slow start mean for GM Stan Bowman? How has Ivan Demidov been so great to start the season? Can Kirby Dach be the Candiens’ answer at second line centre? Jay Onrait is joined by TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button to get his thoughts.

They got the offence just no defensive minds players or structure.
All that salary sacrifice for Connor was a waste 😂
Craig is such a clown
BUTTON IS CLUELESS and a forever Oilers' hater, his opinion about the Oilers is worth as a cond..e in a n.n-h.use.
Knoblauch is the best coach in NHL history. I’d rather trade the whole team than lose Professor Knoblauch.
losers ; BAD ; the difference between Gretzky /Messier era is that they had players that helped them achieve winning . These modern day OILERS DONT HAVE the help; .. They are DONE ; not going to make another run.. MCDRL will be looking to a USA team .. mark my words; they are sick of losing , rolling their eyes watching stupid mistakes, sloppy goal tending.. BAD
This guy has said this 4 straight seasons and been wrong
How anyone takes Craig buttons comments seriously is beyond me. Complete moron.
McDavid and dri seem like they don't love the game anymore and i dont blame them McDavid signed a good deal and Bouchard didn't and i think they are realizing how bad the defense and goal tending is and their bottom six sucks i think McDavid and dri are seeing if their depth can help them and it doesn't seem like it until they start to step up McDavid and dri are gonna keep doing what their doing and dri will be getting goals not assists and McDavid will keep passing not shooting like they have before dri can easily get assists McDavid can easily score but until the team starts doing anything they're gonna keep playing like this
Its only 15 games remember 2 -9-1 and 0-3 they are actually are better this start.

The main problem is their defensive line. Bouch and Nurse are unreliable and show no hustle. They also consistently loose puck battles, not to mention the brutal turnovers . If they can fix that aspect of their game, they can make it back to the SCF. Seems like their defensive line can't match the pace of the team, which is costing them these games.
Mcdavid took a pay cut because ?
Idiot.
Blah Blah Blah see you guys in June when the Oilers are hoisting the CUP
Say the line Craig: "Oilers haven’t shown they can play a complete game" – same time next year Craig?
How did your playoff picks go last year Craig?
Oilers are done.. maybe wild card but that is a stretch. Conner should have left the oil. I think the 2 losses in the finals says it all. They could have had 4 new decent players but no. 10 years of failure is rewarded.
Oh my God buttons I can't wait for you to eat your words it's 15 games in and you've already counted them out you're in the wrong business
Mr. Button is dead on right about giving away them young players was the most stupidest move ever
Craig button always talks so much crap but once they start winning he will change his tone. Simply put he is stupid. He has the iq of a door knob.
It worse oilers forgot how to play hockey yesterday lost 9-1 to avalanche
