Hard to imagine it hasn't even been 5 seasons since the Oilers visited the Stanley Cup Finals, not to mention, that the team was a meager 3 points away from their last post-season trip in 2007-08. A lot has gone wrong with Edmonton since watching the Lightning hoist the cup and the franchise finally seems to be in position to totally transition towards a brighter future.
What needs to happen? (Cue SG89. or SGeightnine, whatever)
Taylor Hall instantly becomes a flagship player the minute he's taken 1st overall on January 25th. Around him, the Oilers do have some promising, young 'spects coming up but what of the veterans?
Word off the hot stove is that the Oilers' offseason will start by parting ways with veteran players who are on the finals years of their deals. Yes, this list does include Ethan Moreau, Patrick O'Sullivan and Robert Nilsson.
