Conclusion

The Oilers are capable of greatness due to their electric offense, but until they defend better, they won’t accomplish their ultimate goal.

They have a great coaching staff, but Jay Woodcroft will need better personnel on the back end to work with if he’s going to have this team ready for another deep playoff run.

They may not pull the trigger until trade deadline day, but a move is almost certainly coming.
