Hockey Hall of Fame Writer Predicts a Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup
Terry Jones is a long-time Edmonton Oilers fan who has witnessed all five of the team's Stanley Cup victories.
He is optimistic about their chances for the upcoming season and believes this could be the year they make it to the finals.
Jones trusts in Ken Holland's leadership and does not think any major moves are necessary, especially with Dylan Holloway waiting in the wings.
However, he does suggest adding one more depth forward for added security.
Overall, Jones believes the current Oilers team is well-constructed and should give opportunities to young players like Raphael Lavoie, Dylan Holloway, and Ryan McLeod without bringing in outside talent.
The team should also remain flexible with cap space to ensure the signing of Evan Bouchard, who has been a crucial part of the team.
While the Oilers were predicted to win it all last year, they faced tough competition from the Vegas Golden Knights.
Jones believes the team still has a chance at contention if they continue to focus on developing younger talent.
