Who will be on the Oilers roster the next time they make the playoffs? The next time they're truly competitive?

I may be a homer but I don't think we're far off. Here's the current Oilers I think will be on that team:

Forwards:
Hall, Eberle, Nuge, Perron, Yakupov, Gordon, Pitlick, Hendricks, Smyth

Defense:
Petry, J. Schultz, Ference, Klefbom, Marincin

Goaltender:
Scrivens

By my count that's 3-4 forwards, a Dman and a goalie that will come as new faces

Ryan Smyth?? Really how many more years do you think he has left? I give a year max before he calls it quits. And what no love for Nurse or Ekblad?

Pretty sure we can sign him to one year deals with bonuses. I'd give him a base salary of 750k and then say 1mil in bonuses. I really don't mind him as a 4th liner to be honest, although he might be playing well to get a shot with a contender.

I think Smyth plays 1-2 more years here.

I'm torn between you and Lahey. If he doesn't get traded to an contender, he will play up to another 2 years with the Oilers.

I might trade Smyth for Kyle Clifford and retain salary if LA is into that.
