It will be interesting to see how fresh the Oilers old legs are in the 2nd half of the regular season after a short summer. Even the sub-30 year old guys like McDavid and Draisaitl totally wore down in the playoffs and both have the miles of 30-year old players. I believe no Western Conference finals has made back to back Stanley Cup final appearances since the 2008/09 Red Wings as it's so hard to do and the Oilers expect to do that with the oldest team in the league. I don't like their odds at all.
