Which is a scathing indictment on the actual correlation between betting odds and the true probability of NHL results. Edmonton is no good.

I would rather go into the season taking the Oilers as a serious team like the start of last season rather than writing them down as weak sisters of the poor.

Of course, the team needs to take every one of its opponents very seriously. But we as fans enjoy the luxury of consequence-free investment in sports. You go ahead and hold onto your belief in the Oilers because "reasons." I will continue to loudly and proudly proclaim my complete and total disdain and lack of respect for that entire organization, the team, the on-ice product, and the players.
Edmonton is no good. No one can save them. No one.
