And yes, I know we all said that last year too, and the year before that. But this year's roster is clearly much worse than the teams that made it to the final. They got rid of most of the pieces that actually made them competitive and replaced them with barely AHL-level talent. And their goaltending and D are both significantly worse than the last two years.

They actually miss Kane and Perry.
McDavid and Drai are past prime age for forwards. Still elite players but they may only be 90% effective as their peak age, and to carry the Oilers they need to be 100% peak.
