No, the Oilers will make it. Too much of a cushion and teams that are below the line are way too inconsistent. But I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they stumbled hard into the postseason with their saviour up front and in the net running into fatigue and get their butts handed to them in something like 5 games.
And just maybe at that point it'll hit them that the road to contention is a process, and a long and rocky one at that.
