Connor McDavid , Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will still be with the Edmonton Oilers this season .

Young Vasily Podkolzin was the player who spent most time next to Draisaitl on the second line.

Secondary scoring saw a noticeable uptick this season , which is saying something for a team that used to be known as little more than Two Guys and a Power Play .

The Edmonton Oilers were the oldest team in the NHL last year and that roster obviously won’t be getting any younger.

The Oilers lost Game 7 of last year ’s Stanley Cup Final by one goal, where the main complaint was the team lost because of letting in one too many goals.

But the steep drop in penalty-kill numbers from season-to-season suggest otherwise.

Evander Kane won't be costing the Oilers the final $ 5.125 of his contract next year , after announcing he has been traded to the Vancouver Canucks .

You’ve got to spend money to make money, but you better do it wisely.

The reality is the Oilers can’t have everything they want but they darn sure better get their priorities straight for the off-season .
