My prediction for the oilers is 3rd. This is too low, but the don't have good enough defence (with Klefbom out) or goaltending to be to high.

I have them around 4-5. I certainly don’t see them being better than the Leafs Flames or Jets. They could certainly pass the Habs tho

Given how deep this division is, a good team that would have made the playoffs last year won't make it this year

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

Let me know if I've missed someone. Note that I'm not projecting roles or scoring next year, I'm just looking to see what each player did last year. But based on these numbers I don't see any justification for having 4 teams above Edmonton next year - they aren't even in the same zip code.

Think about this: if Toronto added another Auston Matthews they STILL wouldn't match the Oilers list! Winnipeg could add another another Scheifele + another Wheeler and they would still fall short of Edmonton! I mean, it's not even close. The games have to be played, however, so you can project however you like - it would be nice to see your rationalization though.

You know that old saying... those is glass houses shouldn't throw stones?

If your arguments are factual you can make the point, but since you were just trolling then its wise to not make stupid unfounded comments when your favorite team is MUCH WORSE.

If your goaltending is so good why did Chicago eliminate you? The only reason you re-signed Smith is because you lost out on everyone else, even your own GM thinks your goaltending is bad lmaoo

Lots of people arguing for a team that finished .500 against other Canadian teams last season.

Bro, ur stats prove again that the oilers had TWO great players and still Missed the playoffs. Adding Turris Barrie and Kahun will not put u over the top, and it certainly doesn’t even make u a lock for the playoffs. I honestly don’t know what world ur living in thinking that the Oilers are far better than any Canadian team. The leafs and Oilers have played each other 19 times since 2010, the leafs have won 15 of those games LMAO. if u can’t even beat a old Chicago team, how do u plan to
Keep up with the young and better Canadian teams in this division, I just diner understand.

Toronto has had one of the most elite offences in the league for the last 4 years, and still haven’t made it out the first round. Edm has an AVERAGE Offense at best, behind the big 2. Ur defense is trash, and goaltending is certainly underwhelming.

I diner understand either. Sticking Out Tongue

With the Oilers I think its simple. They got better in an area that there was very limited room to grow and got worse in an area there was a lot of room to get better. They believe in their defensive prospects going forward but they arn't going to make a big impact this season.

I think this shows how flawed the stat is. The oilers offence is not miles ahead of the rest of the teams in Canada. The leafs have had a top 5 offence four years in a row while the oilers were tied 15th last year. I would like to see the same stats with goals as assists don’t go on the score board.

I think the oilers are 3rd or 4th in Canada with the potential to be higher. My oponion is that their PP and PK will regress and koskinen might not repeat his season with the defence being worse than last year. However I think the they have improved their forward depth quite a bit.

You realize those same goaltenders backstopped Edmonton to a 1st place finish among Canadian teams last season, right? Your using them as the #1 reason why they shouldn't be considered a top-3 team is completely illogical.
