from the CP via TSN,

Edmonton Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish says everything in the organization is under evaluation as the last-place team continues to underperform despite an influx of high draft picks and young talent in recent years.

MacTavish told a news conference today the coaching staff, led by second-year head coach Dallas Eakins, and the players are "under scrutiny."

Eakins' future has been called into question several times already this season as the Oilers have managed just six wins and are currently mired in an 11-game losing streak.

MacTavish, who has also been on the hotseat in Edmonton, says the players need to take more responsibility.

He blamed "execution on the ice" for the team's struggles.
