that is my entire point in this thread.

the Oilers have 2 kicks at the can over the next 2 years.

it's not just this year or bust. McDavid is signed for 2 more years.
They just got rid of some of their best defensive players
They were incredibly lucky to be relatively injury free last year
had a dead easy path to the final
they were perilously close to losing to a 4th string goalie in round 2

lots fell their way last year

and 2 years from now their roster will look like this

McDavid 29 years old 16.25M
Draisaitl 30 years old 14M
Hyman 34 years old 5.5M
Hopkins 33 years old 5.125M
Janmark 33 years old 1.45M
Nurse 31 years old 9.25M
Bouchard 26 years old 10M
Brown 32 years old 1M
Campbell Buyout 2.6M

65.175M
