What gives me some comfort for the entire season negatively against oilies is that it isn’t like there are any farm players or draft picks knocking on the door to get called up. As much as we laugh about the age of the roster, in reality this is the best team that the oilers can select. Even in net, this is it. And the inevitable injuries haven’t even started yet. This is it. Peak oilers. It is a roster that can only be added to with injuries due to cap limitations. Actual draft picks running out…

And the Draisatl, Bouchard, and Mavi extensions haven’t even started yet.

Future is bright…future is flames!
