I’m of the belief that the Edmonton Oilers are going to shock the NHL and make a massive step back in the right direction. They’ve got the talent to be a top-2 team in their division and in the end, I genuinely believe that’s where they will end up. And if this pre-season is any indication of the talent the roster possesses on the right-wing, that prediction should very well hold up.
Now let’s take a look at the rest of the league!
Pacific
- San Jose
- Edmonton
- Calgary
- Vegas
- Anaheim
- LA
- Arizona
- Vancouver
It’s hard to argue not putting San Jose at the top as they added Evander Kane and Erik Karlsson to an already strong veteran group but the surprises in the Pacific will be Edmonton and Calgary making a return to the post-season and both Anaheim and Los Angeles missing the playoffs.
