As part of our Countdown to Puck Drop series during the month of September, today we take a deep dive on the Edmonton Oilers

Oilers fans and management are expecting a lot this season, and why the heck not?!

Young captain Connor McDavid is ready to lead his team, he who won the Hart Trophy as the NHL most valuable player and the Art Ross Trophy as its leading scorer with 100 points (30 goals, 70 assists). Last year, the Oilers came within one game of reaching the Western Conference Final, and they are hungry for more… 

The Oilers can also count on emerging star Leon Draisailt, who ranked eighth in the NHL in scoring with 77 points. The forward just signed a lengthy contract and will look to prove to everyone that he deserves it.  The addition of Ryan Strome, in exchange for Jordan Eberle, will boost the roster, excited for the new season.

Netminder Cam Talbot showed management and fans that he is a workhorse, after he started 73 games and won a total of 42.  He will be able to count on defenseman Kris Russell, for leadership and a strong backbone on the blueline. 

The Oilers showed us a climpse last season, and we should all be ready for more!
