Pretty certain the Oilers will get pounded and bring back a worse team next season. If Evander Kane didn't cross the boarder illegally the Oilers likely miss the playoffs or at the very least lose to the Kings in round one.

I’m not talking about the Oilers specifically. I’m talking about Stanley Cup Champions, and what their rosters share in common.
Edmonton has the foundation of a championship quality team. They’ve mucked up everything else and because of that I don’t think they’ll win a Champioship this season, but they’ve got that foundation - and that foundation beat us even though they have mucked up everything else.
It’s fine to ponder what if situations, but the reality is the Oilers beat us and deserved to beat us. They had game breaking talent that destroyed us.
