I guess time will tell but I'd be shocked if they were an actual contender this coming year. Years beyond that, who knows, every off-season sees turnover, but I don't see this coming version as much more than a top-3 in the Pacific type team. Which means they could win a round or get hot and win two. But all the way? Stranger things have happened I guess.

Well they could hardly get worse.

How are they expected to do so good with that defence?

The media has been predicting that the Oilers would be the best team in the League for damn near a Decade now. Hows that gone so far?
How many years ago was it that Pierre McGuire said "They're Building something Special up in Edmonton?"
How many players are left from the team he was referencing?
The media predicting the Oilers to be awesome? Same crap, different day.
