I think we'll be a bit tougher. And hopefully a couple of young guys make the final roster. But I think the results will be fairly similar.

Cammalleri's the only guy we'll miss. But he wasn't carrying the team on his back.

We had the 4th overall pick this year. Doubt we can get much worse.

One thing I am hoping this year is that they have a steady stream of call ups from the farm. If we're planning on building for 3 years down the road I hope they give the young players they have ear marked as the future core an opportunity to get some playing time on the big club.

And who knows, maybe we finish last and cash in on the Connor M sweepstakes.

But my gut feel is that there's to much pride in the room and on the coaching staff to finish dead last. That's the Oiler's turf. They'll fight hard to protect it.
