I've said for a while now that their window really started last year, and its going to be a short window. Even if RNH leaves they're delusional if they think they can get a replacement for him from free agency for the same money. Nurse is ramping up to a monster contract if the Oilers want him to stay. And they don't have much coming up that's going to address their obvious depth issues.
This is probably the best shot for them, a weak division to play in the regular season, and a supposed really favorable first round match up. The window closes a bit if they lose this series and the question is, do you keep both Drai and McDavid or do you move one for a raft load of young depth repair.
