The Oilers will be competitive next year or the year after that at the latest.

no team will ever succeed having to overpay FA's, thats reality
and no one will take market value to play in Edmonton, quite possibly the worst location of any NHL franchise
Eberle, Pajarvi, Gagne, Cogliano, those players are all exactly the same, and none of them outside of Eberle are game breakers
take oilers current team, add another first round pick, and 2 more role players of your choice, and even then, tell me they can beat a San Jose or Detroit in a 7 game series, it aint happening, none of the players that have, or will be getting are a Toews, Kane, type player.
