Are The Oilers Better, The Same Or Worse?



Nhl edmonton oilers today – Nhl training camps open soon and then preseason and then we can finally watch some opening night hockey for the 2024-25 season , and one of the most intriguing teams this year is the edmonton oilers . Post leon draisaitl contract extension of course connor mcdavid always takes headlines, but the offseason trades and free agent signings notably jeff skinner viktor arvidsson and the dylan holloway philip broberg offer sheets st louis blues spotlighted oilers news recently and created some turnover on this roster. As the oilers today begin captain’s skate and interviews , I figured now’s a good time to preview their season. For nhl picks and predictions , breakdowns recaps reaction to nhl highlights today including best goals and funny moments like mic’d up or on-ice rarities, rankings, nhl news and rumors plus more, stick with johnny hawkey .

  1. Just amazes me every time I see how weak the pacific division is šŸ˜®
    Fans rooting for a team in the east really envy oilers fans!

  2. Way better offensively, maybe slightly worse defensively. Theyll add at the deadline. Theyre better.

  3. Edmonton had a great off-season (aside from the baffling Bowman hire, literally any more deserving GM could work with this collection of talent) and have objectively improved their roster across the board. Skinner and Arvidsson signings in particular were very sharp given how they could fit in with Edmonton's talent.
    Clear Cup favourites to me, but right now I'm just trying to figure out if there's any way the Oilers and my beloved Canucks could meet in the WCF. Either way I have to imagine Oilers fans are pretty stoked about this upcoming season.

  4. The Oil are absolutely better this season. There isn't a better top 6 in the league and the Janmark, Henrique and Brown line is back. Kane on LTIR gives more cap flexibility to find a top 4 D which is all this roster needs.

  5. Crosby at the deadline to bring the cup back to canada then he resigns to the pens when its all said and done.

  6. Rumour is oilers will acquire cap space as the season goes on also kanes full no move clause turns to a 15 team no move February 28th which means itā€™s highly likely we acquire a dman at trade deadline similar to when we picked up ekholm.

  7. Pend do in Oct if play bad did last Oct then not do good where last season . Real good Oct then Great Chance place first and get home ice playoff .

  8. The oilers are absolutely stacked . Especially down the middle. 3 first line centres. Connor browns gonna put up 20 this year.

  9. Skinner is likely to get lit up this year. All the shooters in the league now have a book on him after the long run last year. If he can't adjust, it'll be a long season.

  10. Their top 6 is obviously improved but after that the team is worse. Their bottom 6 isn't great and never was, their d is worse. I don't know why people think Emberson is going to be a better replacement than Ceci, the guy is on his 4th NHL organization and didn't even average more mins than Ceci on a weak SJ team. SJ is actually the only team he even made, AZ let him go, NY put him on waivers, SJ picked him up cause they needed a body. And Podkozin isn't going to replace Halloway, Van wouldn't of given him up so easily if he was that decent and they certainly wouldn't of given him up to the Oilers that easy. I think last years run was more of a fluke of them getting by Van and for them to make a run again they need McDavid to go on a tear like his did last season.

  11. They'll play the most balanced season they've ever played, i think. No stupid slump to start, no weak finishes in the Xmas break, no lagging at the deadline. 97/29 are ready to go dynasty mode here.

  12. Hit the nail on the head with the experience factor. If Skinner can take his game to the next level, it could be an unstoppable wagon

  13. No. As a Stars fan, I'm not into Oilers content. HOWEVER, know thy enemy, amirite? You're knowledgeable and your content is great, which is why I still watch.

  14. Great vid – spot on. I think J Skinner is gonna get 50 this year. Even if Arvidsson is broke half the season. Anxious to see Savoie this weekend to see if he is ready for the big time. Really think the top 9 will just flat out dominate this year. But a suggestion – Jonathan is a bit of a mouthful, eh? How about J Hawk? Of course, I dont come here for the name but for the great content!
