I'll take that "embarrassment" over a 4-game sweep to a banged up Ducks squad missing Fowler, Vatanen and Bieksa any day
so I guess McDavid, Draisaitl, Strome, Caggulia, Larsson, Klefbom, Benning and Nurse won't get better as they gain experience, especially going to the 2nd round of the playoffs?
they've all peaked now?
I think the Oilers are banking on the continued development of the young core that went pretty deep into the playoffs

Seems like the Oilers are banking on many things this upcoming season.
-Talbot to play above his head again
-Strome to make a drastic jump in his play to make up for the loss of Eberle's points
-Nurse and Benning to become 2nd pairing defensemen
-Drai to progress and carry his own line
-Poolparty to make the leap and be a top 6 winger
-The cap to go up significantly
Am I missing anything Albertaoiler??
