disagree completely
but it is nice to finally be a healthy club considering the Oilers led the league in injuries last year

but the statement "the Oilers haven't changed" is completely false...they added Larsson, Russell and Benning
that's adding NHLers and depth to the roster
("adding" Klefbom has been a major too.)

If McDavid goes down for any length of time, the Oilers are a lottery team. Don't fool yourself or even try to equate the Oilers to the Pens or Blackhawks in terms of trajectory or direction of franchise. Its insulting to two teams that built off of high picks unlike the Oilers a tam that treated high draft picks like a heroin addiction and for the most part pissed them away.

really? when have both Malkin and Crosby been injured at the same time? what about Towes and Kane? we've never seen these teams lose their best players so how the heck do we know they can survive major injuries.
and who said anything about the Oilers winning the Cup? of course you need depth to win the Cup, but the Oilers aren't close yet...this is a great first step though
