I think the top 4/5 teams in the division are pretty good. Just as good as the Central Division anyway. Right there with the Atlantic as well. No one touches the Metro obviously.

I don't see why you think the Oilers are due to regress.

They weren't like the 2014/15 Flames that made the playoffs while getting outshot and outfancied while winning all of their extra point games, and leading the league in improbable 3rd period comebacks.

The Oilers were 9th in the league in shots for/against at ES. 9th in Fenwick, and 18th in corsi.

They were a solid team last year. Yeah, they had a good season for injuries, but so did the Flames.
