probably not. Forward core is good (even though they don't have an elite winger), but the D and goaltending isn't that good.
I think the defense is fine. Hamilton is an elite defenseman. Sergachev can be a #2. Pettersson and Andersson as your 3 and 4 is okay.. the 3rd pair sucks

I think if were talking Sergachev in 2 years it's good, but for now he's a below average 2nd D-man at best and that's coming from a Tampa fan. He played on the bottom pairing a lot for Tampa last year

Well of course a 22 year old will play behind Hedman and McDonagh, even a 22 year old Lindstrom would have, 22 year old Paul Coffee would have also, even a 22 year old Bobby Orr, that doesn't mean he's a below average player, it means the team he plays for is STACKED WITH TALLENTED DEFENCEMAN, but that's just my opinion, just another Oilers fan's opinion, nothing important... lol

Well it wasn't like their pairings were based on talent anyway considering Jan Rutta was on the 1st pairing.
