Agreed, facts are facts and stats are facts and stats say the fact is Oilers were the best team out of the bunch last year, they have the best player (s) every year, the best offseason this year, the team to beat all year

Canadian division will be a fun division to watch for sure. I think you could put down Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Toronto in any order and it'd be a reasonably safe bet.

Maybe even throw in Montreal and 1-5 is anybody's guess.

Literally any team but Ottawa really. Not trying to take a dig at’em but it is what it is.

When your second best player is probably Dadonov you're not going very far. Last year he was like the 6th best player on a Florida team that didn't make the playoffs.

Yup. Habs made some solid additions. I'd say they'll be fighting it out for a wildcard spot until the end. Depends on which other division is considered to be in the same conference.

I think oilers have the Canadian division without breaking a sweat. Some huge improvements this offseason.

Top 3 in Canadian Division

1) Oilers
2) Vancouver
3) Toronto

I'd put Winnipeg and Calgary as battling for 4th. Honestly though Vancouver could overtake the Oilers, they just have better depth throughout the lineup and their goaltending is much better

Vancouver? Why do you think Vancouver has improved? They traded away their starter, their goaltending is competing with Ottawa's for the division basement.

Koskinen .917 + Smith .902
Demko .905 + Holtby .897
Murray .899 + Anderson .902

I'm going to guess the splits end up something like this:

Hellebuyck + Brossoit 80/20 = .917
Markstrom + Rittich 70/30 = .915
Price + Allen 70/30 = .914
Koskinen + Smith 60/40 = .911
Andersen + Campbell 70/30 = .908
Demko + Holtby 50/50 = .901
Murray + Anderson 60/40 = .900

Vancouver has good forward depth, but not better than Edmonton's. Here are their top-9 compared to Edmonton's (last year's numbers):

Vancouver: 6.05 total
Miller: 1.04 P/GP
Pettersson: 0.97
Boeser: 0.79
Horvat: 0.77
Pearson: 0.65
Gaudette: 0.56
Virtanen: 0.52
Sutter: 0.39
Ferland: 0.36

Edmonton: 7.69 total
Draisaitl: 1.55 P/GP
McDavid: 1.52
Yamamoto: 0.96
Nugent-Hopkins: 0.94
Kassian: 0.58
Neal: 0.56
Kahun: 0.55
Ennis: 0.53
Turris: 0.50

If Edm has Tor's number wouldn't they beat them more in the last 4-5 years?

Understandable.

Leafs are still 3W 1L vs Edm post Chiarelli.

Wait so the team that went 1-2-1 against the Flames when every Flames player had a down year, and followed that up by not addressing their weakness in net this summer, all of a sudden has our number? You could even argue the Oilers are WORSE defensively with the addition of Barrie and potentially losing Klefbom lol. On top of that you had losing records against Ottawa and Winnipeg and split with Vancouver and Toronto. The only Canadian team the Oilers had a positive record against was the 24th overall in the league Habs lmao get lost

Demko is still growing, he will get better. Cannot say the same about either Koskinen or Smith. Vancouver has better depth than Edmonton. Edmonton addressed it quite well with Kahun, Turris and Barrie but they still don't match the depth of Vancouver imo. Guys like Haas and Nygard are really only getting minutes in the NHL because Edmonton doesn't have any better options. Vancouver has 4 solid lines that can defend and put the puck in the net. Again this is all my opinion. I did have Edmonton over Vancouver in the standings so you clearly see that I think Edmonton will be the better team. Solely in terms of depth (and depth wins championships) I think Vancouver is better

Well, I already showed you that Vancouver does NOT have better forward depth. I'll show you another way - by looking at CapFriendly's projected lines along with last year's scoring rates:

1. Pettersson - Miller - Boeser = 2.80 P/GP
2. Pearson - Horvat - Eriksson = 1.69
3. Roussel - Gaudette - Sutter = 1.27
4. Motte - Beagle - Virtanen = 0.91

https://www.capfriendly.com/depth-charts/canucks

I'm not sure that's accurate as Edmonton's depth chart isn't, so let me know what is off and I'll adjust it. CF's Edmonton depth chart misses Kahun altogether, so I'll construct the lines as they likely will be:

1. Nugent-Hopkins - McDavid - Kassian = 3.04 P/GP
2. Kahun - Draisaitl - Yamamoto = 3.06
3. Ennis - Turris - Puljujarvi = 1.46
4. Neal - Khaira - Chiasson = 1.09

Edmonton has TWO lines that are better than Vancouver's first line, and Edmonton's 3rd and 4th lines are better than Vancouvers. Edmonton's depth is so good that a guy like Josh Archibald (12 goals in each of the past 2 seasons) could find himself in the pressbox. If not him then Alex Chiasson, who has averaged 16 goals per 82 over the past 4 seasons.

Depth chart is not correct for Vancouver I can tell you that. Virtanen isn't a 4th line player and it doesn't have Ferland on there and he is a 35-40 point player. But as I already mentioned this is my opinion, it isn't necessarily the truth. Edmonton is the better team in the regular season but if they meet in the playoffs I think Vancouver can beat them. Jay Beagle and Tyler Motte can outwork can Edmonton forward except maybe Yamamoto. I rest my case
