How far will the Edmonton Oilers go in this year’s playoffs?

Phil Gretzky:

I have no doubt the Oilers can get out of the division in the first two rounds, but past that I’m less confident, so I’m going to say the third round.

Sean Mallon:

I don’t want to jinx them, but if Edmonton makes faces Calgary in a Round 2 matchup, they will be hard pressed to advance. Darryl Sutter is a great coach who maximizes the value and contributions of his roster. The Oilers have the skill to move past the Flames but it would take a nearly perfect effort. However, if Calgary bows out in Round 1, all bets are off.

Lane Golden:

This might be a biased take, but I believe in Jay Woodcroft’s Oilers. I think they can make it to the Stanley Cup Finals. The second round will be their toughest test should they matchup against Calgary.

Devon Hladunewich:

They will beat the Kings for sure, the issue will be with Calgary. If Markstrom is playing good the Edmonton Oilers will lose. If Markstrom is an average goalie the Oilers will win. I don’t see the Oilers coming out of the West though as I assume Colorado will be winning the West.
