You are seen playing the Edmonton Oilers in your “Destination”: Einst machten viele NHL-Spieler einen weiten Bogen um die nördlichste NHL-Franchise, mttlerweile ist Edmonton eine “Destination” (German: Ziel), with superstar Connor McDavid öffentlich kundtat. Die Gründe: Ein Team mit Potenzial für den Cup and – in the playoffs in 2024, where possible – die ligaweit vermutlich beste Stimmung bei Heimspielen im Rogers Place. What needs to be done for the Cup? Was Hat sich zur neuen Saison verändert?

Die transfers: Along with Verteidigern, Vincent Desharnais, Cody Ceci and Philip Broberg were spotted with Ungraifern by Ryan McLeod, Warren Voegele and Dylan Holloway in the Oilers States. When you become free agent Sturmer Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner, and Vasily Podkolzin, for Abwehr with Ty Amberson in Tausch for Szeczy and Neuer, when Troy Stecher and Travis Dermott are happy to try out the Vertrag unterschreiben durfte.

Die Abwehr wirkt schlechter

Abwehr: Sie scheint auf den ersten Blick will help you in the pre-season. Darnell Nurse has decided he wants to start the season, and this could be a color hint for Amberson das Mattias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard. The duo were the best players in the NHL when they played in the NHL and it was great.

Upper Brett Kulak became it as Paar Stecher or Dermott on the site. Josh Brown, who signed a free agent contract, will no longer work in the AHL. In der vergangenen Saison Hatten die Oilers das Glück, dass die Defensive von Verletzungen verschont blieb. Die dürfen auch dieses Mal nicht passieren, die Kadertiefe gibt das nicht her.

Defensive play is also available for goalkeepers. Stuart Skinner entered the new season and the first number 1 was bought by Jack Campbell. Als Backup was opened in the new season by Calvin Pickard etabliert. Der 32-Jährige muss dieses Niveau, um Skinner zu entlasten. Skinner must see that Zweifler mittlerweile überzeugt haben, ihm gehört die Zukunft.

New partner for Draisaitl

Der Sturm: He works with the Oilers on sogar paper. Player One got to know more about superstar McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Torjeger Zach Hyman, who won 70 playoff games in 2023-24. In the playoffs, the best player will be Adam Henrique as a center, flanked by Connor Brown and Mattias Janmark.

Dazwischen, als zweite Reihe, will become the new partner of the Draisaitl Center and the ultimate celebration. Viktor Arvidsson plays for the Los Angeles Kings and is McDavids’ best player. These are attractive places in Edmonton. Gifts for Jeff Skinner at left winger due to pre-season. Skinner wants to be the best player in the NHL in a playoff game in which he turned 32 in the first game of the playoffs. Dementsprechend hoch sollte seine Motivation sein.

Neuzugang Podkolzin, a best friend of the Vancouver Canucks and a first-round draft pick, started in the current Reich and on the site of programmers Derek Ryan and Corey Perry. Senior and trade Evander Kane felt comfortable on the field in Leisten and in the big operation during the regular season. Kert is in good shape and in playoff shape, and that’s very important.

The oldest team and our talents

Das spricht für die Oilers: In Bestbesetzung gehört der Kader zum Besten, NHL zu bieten hat. Superstars McDavid and Draisaitl, with US$14 million in 2025 for the world’s top hockey player Eishokei-Spiler, will be delighted with the team at the top of Niveau. The Diez duo left Traum in the Cup to ensure everything was in order.

Verteidiger Bouchard is an offensive play-by-play power play that can produce big hits. Per the March trade deadline, when the Oilers acquired cap rights and draft picks, that’s all Abwehr needed to get him.

Das spricht gegen die Oilers: Die Gegner werden vor allem McDavid und Draisaitl Jagen, beide plagten sich angeschlagen durch die Endphase der Playoffs. Now the team has a chance for the Cup. Die Defensive wirkt aktuell nicht Cup reif, zum ist der Kader der alteste der Liga – das kann ich einer langen Saison zum Nachteil gereichen.

Generalell gold plated: Alles ist der Gegenwart, dem Cup-Gewinn untergeordnet. Dadurkh is a talent pool. Der Verlust von Broberg und Holloway (in St. Louis according to the offer sheet) and that’s it. With center Noah Philp, the best player on the board and up-and-coming right winger Matt Savoy, this is now our new talent that will end up showing up this season.

I’ll allow myself this point: Connor McDavid (recovery) and the Oilers won Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in Florida.

Aggressive on Transfermarkt

Allerdings are a long-standing challenge when the Oilers perform resuscitation efforts in these conditions and trades become aggressive. Dies hat der Transfersommer gezeigt. The most famous Stan Bowman (we were missbrauch scandals in Chicago, then he was my turntable) – the new CEO, it was Ken Holland, ca. General Manager Jeff Jackson wanted the Oilers to return to the Oilers and be part of the all-team team again, as well as Erfolgschancen zu erhöhen.

Das Fazit: Es könnte wieder ein holpriger Saisonstart werden. Chris Knoblauch should be in the spotlight as head chef and this is a team that can’t stop and fail. Die Teilnahme an den Playoffs is Pflicht. Ziel muss es sein, in diesen möglichst often Heimvorteil zu haben, in the regular season also present in der Tabelle abzuschließen. I’m in Edmonton for the Cup in Frühjahr kommt and that means the team beat the team.

Forbild von Draisaitl and his friends when he joined the Florida Panthers, gegen die sie so denkbar knapp im Juni den Kürzeren zogen. Die Panthers will win the 2022 final and qualify for the Spring Cup. Nichts anderes haben die Oilers vor.
