With stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the offense, the Oilers have a potent mix of talent and depth that could propel them further in the playoffs.

The combination of star talent and a well-structured financial plan positions the Oilers favorably in today's NHL landscape.
With upcoming off-seasons and potential trades, the Oilers have the capability to make strategic moves that further enhance their team dynamic. Whether it’s securing additional talent or managing existing contracts, Edmonton appears to be on the right track as they aim for a deeper playoff run in the coming years.
