Trying to convince Dave Tippit and Ken Holland why the Oilers won't make the playoffs is like trying to get water from a stone.

As stated many times before the reason the Oilers won't make the playoffs is because of these players in particular...

Oscar Klefbom is -20 this season and has a career -67. He is the most overrated player on the Oilers.
James Neal is -17 this season whereas Milan Lucic is only -5. Bad trade.
Jujhar Khaira is -12 this season and has a career of -32.
Josh Archibald is -11 this season, has 1 point in 24 games.
Riley Sheahan is -10 this season and has a career of -47.
