   As badly as things have gone recently for the Edmonton Oilers, the Chicago Blackhawks came to town and made it much worse.

   More of the same this season.. Connor gets his 120 or more…. but the team gets beat up 5 on 5 in the playoffs… If Mike Smith cant repeat last year… Oilers are in trouble.

   If only we never got Keith and signed Ryan Murray, signed Ceci for less maybe 2-2.8, sign nurse for 7-8 instead of that gross 9.2

   We'll see what they say about Bouchard half way through the season.

   Mike Smith is worth the money. He is basically a captain with his fire and intensity. He deserves to be there.

   The Oilers outplayed the Jets in 3 out of 4 games. 3 of 4 games went to OT. Over the series, they outshot the Jets by an average of 6.6 shots/gm. Most significantly, they ran into an incredibly hot goalie. Hellebucyk had .950 sv % vs the Oilers. Then he didn't against the Habs, and the Jets in turn got swept.

   Credit to the Jets though, they did play well and were better at important moments against the Oilers to sweep the series.

    Foegele, Ryan and Hyman are significant upgrades on Offense. They no longer have offensive depth issues.

    Bouchard is the real deal, the D will struggle but be better than expected.

    Goaltending was ranked 7th last year and 14th the year before. They are fine just not top end.

    Edm is a playoff team and should win a series this year.

    ”They’ve improved their forward depth, they should be fine” why does it seem like we hear this every year?

    I like the Hyman signing a lot and it makes an already scary offense even scarier. But the defense wasn’t amazing last year and they look worse this year, not to mention Smith is 40. McDavid will do wonders in the regular season like he did last year, but I can’t see a deep run but the Oilers in the playoffs.

No hope ever for Edmonton.yet. maple laughs haven't got to 2round way longer then Edmonton. It took Washington like 5 times out in first round, before winning.

    Since Game 3 against the Ducks in 2017, the Oilers have lost 11 of their last 13 playoff games with no series wins. They have to step it up this year.

    They need big steps from their young players: Pulju, Yamo, Bouch, Broberg (maybe)…they need Keith and Smith to play on a high good level…they need Kassian to play better…they need the energy from Foegele…they need 4th line youngsters to raise their level…the possibility is there, but still a long shot. Playoffs in Pacific ? should be.

    so if you guys are playing the whiny antagonists that's fine but make it known in the headline!
    how about leading with "we hate the Oilers no matter what"? lame.

    The team still has a lot of holes, but I like some of their off-season moves.
    They should be able to easily make the playoffs.
    Going far in the playoffs is a whole other issue though.

    McDavid could actually get more than 150 points this year with this division being so bad and him getting to face them the most.

    Probably finish second in the division and then lose in the first round, they're going to continue to do this and be the new Toronto Maple Leafs.

    Rosen looking good and fit but not the Oilers! The North division was an aberration, the Pacific considered weak will be tougher with a full schedule of travel and teams than last season. Vegas takes number one, while the Oilers, Kraken, Flames and Canucks battle for second to fourth.

    Best forward core in years, D downgraded losing Bear, tendy's stay the same. What place they end up is wholly dependent on who's between the pipes but course Goalies are pure voodoo. But 2nd in the div is the most likely spot being that Vegas is the only obviously better team.
