Why the Oilers continue to be a top-tier team?
Edmonton’s Oilers’ dominance isn’t due to one single factor, but a powerful combination of generational talent, strategic team-building, and key internal improvements. The Oilers’ management has learned from past mistakes and has done an excellent job of building a supportive roster around their stars.
The most frequent praise is centered on Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, widely considered two of the best players in the world, capable of taking over games single-handedly.
