Let's use more realistic numbers based on say their career averages over 75 games since they're going to miss time for injury and this list has 13 forwards and 7 defensemen who can't all play the same 82 games. Numbers rounded up to the next highest goal to be nice to Edmonton(meaning we're being about 10 goals too generous to the Oilers)

McDavid - 31
Nugent-Hopkins - 20
Lucic - 18
Draisaitl - 21
Rattie - 14
Brodziak - 11
Strome - 13
Cagguila - 12
Kassian - 11
Puljujarvi - 11
Rieder - 14
Khaira - 10
Aberg - 6

Klefbom - 8
Nurse - 6
Russell - 5
Benning - 5
Larsson - 3
Jerabek - 4
Gravel - 1

Total - 224

So while it's possible if the entire Oilers team is healthy and hits weighted career highs and they ice 20 skaters per game instead of 18 they could hit 332 goals, a much more realistic number is 224 aka they're still no good and still not going to make the playoffs.

Oh wait I forgot Yamamoto is the same size as Gaudreau and they drafted him in the first round so he's going to be even better and save the Oilers. The talking heads were idiots thinking the Oilers were going to do anything last year and they'd be stupid to think anything is different this year. Just like the Cleveland Browns they're good for a fluke season about once a decade.
