Offense look pretty good.
Defense looks average.
Goaltending has to scare the crap out of oilers fans. The most important position is their biggest question mark.

This team can either win a couple rounds in the playoffs or 40 year old mike smith could have one of his bad years and they can miss the playoffs all together.

This is the best lineup they have had in years, but losing Bear is gonna hurt them, Ceci isn't a real replacement.
I know they say that they are shopping for a goalie, and they need to, make a trade and then they really finally will have a chance to go far.

I see that you prepared this post before KY signed on September 18th, but nothing significant has changed since then other than Archibald's unavailability, which I also see you've taken into account.

I'll echo @SociallyHawkward's analysis: the offense is great, the defense is below average and the goaltending is really suspect. I think that their success will depend on how well the goalies do.
