The Edmonton Oilers are one of a couple of teams in the camp where they either win the Stanley Cup or their season is a disappointment. With that being the case these teams are separated by the smallest margins.
When it comes to the smallest margins most of that is decided by how they navigate the salary cap. The Vegas Golden Knights are likely going to win the Cup and they “managed” their cap the best. Going into LTIR and having one of their best players miraculously become healthy for game 1 of the playoffs.
Now I am not here to complain about the ways to sneak around the cap rules, I am using that as a point of the more “bang you can get for your money the better your team is”, whether or not it is within the rules or not.
