Morning Line- Damien Cox On The Edmonton Oilers

It’s hard to believe that Edmonton may have to tear down most of what it thought had been built.

Think about it. The message from the Oiler “core” to ownership and management on the weekend was a 5-0 loss at home in the final Battle of Alberta at the old Northlands barn, an unmistakable “we don’t care” from the group of young players the Oilers thought would bring the team back to competitiveness, at least.

Now GM Peter Chiarelli has to rip it all up, and one move won’t do. For it to have the necessary impact on the organization, Taylor Hall has to be the player to go, and fortuitously for Chiarelli, he’s the player likely to bring the greatest return.
