What's funny is their chances of a cup win is definitely higher elsewhere. Depends on the organization they choose of course, but there are/will be clubs that are a mcdavid or draisaitl away from a Tampa Bay type of run.
To say it's Edmonton or bust for their cup hopes is laughable and just veiled desperation.
Their obsession with adding journeyman forwards to bolster scoring instead of shoring up the defense and throwing money at bad players (nurse, Campbell, brown, etc) is precisely that oilers incompetence that's held them back from any team hardware in the McEra.
You can bet other teams wouldn't botch that opportunity with 8 tries at it.
