After making the last two Stanley Cup Finals, there could only be one expectation for the Edmonton Oilers in 2026-27. Unfortunately, there's that saying of "The best laid plans.." and for the Oilers, the entire season never appeared to get traction.

They were exposed badly during the opening round of the playoffs by Anaheim and enter an off-season with a problem in goal, a severe lack of secondary scoring and perhaps just two more seasons of having Connor McDavid leading them.
