Article content This in from Eric Francis of Sportsnet in Calgary, his rave review of the prospects for the Edmonton Oilers in the 2024-25 season. Asked by host Bob Stauffer Oilers Now what Edmonton’s chances are for the Stanley Cup this coming season, Francis said, “There’s nobody can tell me that they’re not the favourite. And I know Florida is going to come back with a formidable team next year.

There are a lot of teams that did really well. But you took a team that was two goals away from winning the Stanley Cup and you got infinitely better with (Jeff) Skinner. In short, yes, they’re the favourite to win the Stanley Cup next year.



Look, a lot can happen, we know that. But sitting here, right now, after what they did on free agency day, I can’t imagine anybody could think otherwise.” “I’m just going to tell you right now that that team on paper is the most terrifying team in the West and I think in all of hockey.

Kudos to the Oilers. When they added Skinner, I just rolled my eyes and said, ‘Wow.’ Good for them.

Creative way to add even more depth to your roster.” My take 1. It’s great to hear such optimism about the Oilers out of Calgary.

But the key thing that Francis said, “Look, a lot can happen, we know that.” Francis is right. A lot can happen with any team, both good and bad, with injury most often being the worst of it, the X-factor that can derail the best of teams.

That said, the Oilers are through that rancid period of the McDavid E.
