And Edmonton themselves last year were picked by many non-Oiler fans to win the cup given their success the previous season.

Added JT
Lost JVR/Bozak...has Nylander signed?
They are not the best team on paper. Fans and media hype are certainly a factor. Oilers are the ultimate example. What success did the Oilers have exactly? Since when did getting to round two make a team a legit cup favorite? Enjoy losing your money though.
