Oilers improved but probably not nearly as much as people think they have. Flames definitely out performed what people were expecting from them and might fall back a bit from this year but I really dont see the Oilers placing higher than the Flames unless something crazy happens

What the hell did I just read? Did someone drink from the Oilers Kool-aid? Best forward group in the league? Really? Better than TB, Chi, Pit, Stl, NYR and Ana? Will they do better this year? Most likely they played terribly last season, but to place both higher than Clagary and in the playoffs? Extremely unlikey

They admit they still have a shitty D, and what may be a good goalie, and they think they're going to put together a legendary team to rival the old dynasties? Hmmm....

In the writer's defense, I think he writes for the Leafs normally so he is used to overrating shitty teams.

The question shouldn’t be “will they make the Playoffs next seasons,” because that is a certainty. The question is “how long before they win the Cup?” I don’t think it will be next season, but if the over/under is three seasons from now, I’ll take the under.

yeah the oil bottom six is still bottom of the barrel and that's not even touching on any other problems they have

that being said, I think McDavid is going to own so goddamned much that the Oil would have to actively try to not make the playoffs in three years.

I wish American Hero Eichel went to someone else other than lame ass Buffalo. Buffalo, like Cleveland and Toronto, is a place that doesn't deserve happiness and championships.

that first one isnt half bad actually. the brick one is cool too if it were cleaned up.
