If one of their centers gets hurt I could see them finishing last again.

It can also be argued that they took the wrong guy with each of their 1st overall picks, but time will tell on that one.
They've been getting unbelievable goaltending this year that has pretty much effectively won them more then half their games.

Based on talent and how they're playing if they got last years average goaltending they would have about 3 wins. For once their goaltending is masking how bad this team is, in a lot of ways with the shots they allow and their lack of 5x5 offense this Oilers team might be worse then last years in a lot of ways.
