The Edmonton Oilers are through two games at the Young Stars Classic in Penticton, and so far Beau Akey is the standout. Is that a concern for the Edmonton Oilers who have brought some rather big pieces to BC?

The best teams in the league will always have the worst prospect pools. Thats how the NHL works. When you have a chance to win the cup you trade your picks for NHL players. Id much rather have a chance to win the cup every year and a shitty prospect pool, compared to say the Ducks who some would say have the best prospects, but look at where their team has been and will be.
I don't put much stock in "rankings".
Its expected if you're a Cup contending team. Rebuilding teams have the best prospects but have a weak roster of players. Thats a price to pay for a chance to win a Cup. You're not going to wait 3 to 5 years for the players to pan out when they're in win mode now.
