For the Edmonton Oilers, they have seen better days since letting go of Todd McLellan and hiring Ken Hitchcock to steer the team in the right direction. McLellan has had many issues on how to handle this team, mainly his in-game adjustments, lack of creativity on offense especially on the power play and his head-scratching line changes.
It was those inconsistencies that hurt the Edmonton Oilers last year and hampered them the first two months of the season. Some players have benefited from it like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Ty Rattie and Alex Chiasson.
