Did the Oilers really improve a lot in the off season. I'd say no.

Are there enough teams in the West to snake 5 points from the Oilers over 82 games? I'd say yes.

While its probably optimistic, this teams only clam to fame is one of the oldest lineups in the league added another year.

They really need Savoie and Howard to step up in a big way, to make up for declines elsewhere in the roster and injuries.

Its also incredibly tough to make the playoffs in the NHL with the loser point, let alone make the finals three years in a row.

The magic 8 ball points to a drop by the Oilers.

I'm on record saying that the Oilers will be this years shocking, holy shyte how did this happen drop of the year.
