I agree that by now, the Oilers should have no problem making the playoffs, but the team has a whole showed very little progress before last season (and I'm still not convinced they wouldn't have finished bottom 5 had there been a full 82 game season.
That just seems like awfully high expectations for an awfully bad team. It sets you up for failure.

strongly disagree the Oilers were falling like a rock last year...Oilers are handing out 6M contracts left and right I'm pretty sure they should be expecting and delivering more
