McDavid, Talbot and Draisatl.
I wouldn't be surprised if this team proves unsustainable, and is a one year wonder and is facing serious problems in terms of future depth due to upcoming contracts.
Basically their window to win the cup is this year and next year and after that they'll be forced back into rebuilding because of their gross drafting leaving them with nothing substantial coming up and being forced to trade their few decent players for nothing but cap relief.
As a franchise they deserve no respect for their main move being a quick scan of the Hockey News draft addition when they drafted McDavid.

Maybe they are a one year wonder. Unfortunately I think they've finally got it together.

Rich coming from an undercover Oiler fan, seeing as how an Oiler fan can't go 2 sentences without bringing up the 80's.
