According to TSN's Dreger, the Oilers poor offensive start comes down to the elite offensive core of the team.

According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, He explained that Oilers management likely feels the top players of the team including Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have not performed up to the level that they are capable of especially after showing a great resolve during the second half of last year and throughout their Stanley Cup playoff run.
It's no secret that the Edmonton Oilers have gotten off to one of their worst starts in club history. To make matters even worse, if the Oilers lose tonight, they will match a franchise record for the worst start in over 45 years.
Players like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Leon Draisaitl, and Connor McDavid have to get focused to prevent the club from dropping 0-4.
Last seasons poor start is starting to loom over the franchise, and the core must band together to ultimately give new head coach Knoblauch some peace of mind.
