ya, exactly, no way Nurse is a dominant D man, Campbell I think if he can be mediocre/average in the league the Oilers will make the playoffs but he has to be hot at the right time for them to have a long run.
There is nothing they can trade for that will become a number 1 D between now and when the playoffs start unless they traded Drai, which we all know would never happen.
I think Oilers and Flames will fight for the top spot in the division this year, I hate to say it to be honest, but that is what I think.
Do they have what it takes to win the cup? I am still very doubtful it'll happen during McDavid's career in Edmonton, because I just don't see those guys trying to play a 200 ft game that helps win championships. Can't do it because of 1 player and can't do it just by scoring a bunch of goals without any sort of commitment to defense by their top players.
