Good team, they never seem to go away in a season and never a team that will lay down and die. Even last season when they got out a horrendous start, they still battled back slowly for the rest of the year to make the playoffs. In past years to, they get in a funk that would sink 95% of other teams, but still manage to land on their feet
Forward core is good but top heavy. Got a bunch of young players so that core will continue to grow. The D core is very solid and if utilized right could be top 5 in the league. They got a well built skater roster and could be a contender, the only holding them back is goaltending. So as an Oiler fan I have to say thank god they got Smith ahead of the several other much better options available this past summer. Goaltending appears to be the issue that will hold them back for another year or 2. Watching to see if Parsons will be the light at the end of the tunnel in 2/3 years. But if they somehow get good goaltending for this current roster, could be serious noise
