I think the Oilers are currently 8th or 9th in Fenwick numbers across all situations of game-play.
It may be that teams with unsustainable fancy stats generally collapse the following year but I don't think it's necessarily the case that the reverse is true: teams that collapse were not necessarily suffering from unsustainable numbers.
