Oilers Stanley Cup Contenders?
The Edmonton Oilers were considered a Stanley Cup contender last season until the faced the Vegas Golden Knights in round number two.
That team lead the league in powerplay percentage as well as total goals scored last season and with the addition of Connor Brown they look that much more deadly.

Kane - McDavid - Brown
Nugent-Hopkins - Draisaitl - Hyman
Holloway - McLeod - Janmark

Connor McDavid. With Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins coming off 100 point campaigns this team looks like they have a real chance to have depth scoring.
