[McGoMcD]

1. yakupov will not have a great year, but he will prove why he went #1. he will get 30+ goals
2. Nuge has a big year
3. Schultz will have a big offensive year, 50+ points

[rboomercat90]

1. Hall breaks 90 points and falls just short of 100.

2. RNH leads team in points.

3. Petry traded around the 40 game mark.

3. We finish bottom 5 again
4. Hall demands a trade
5. Lowe and MacT get promotions

Number 5 is the safest prediction so far.

 

[Sharppi]

1) Yakupov will flee to Russia during the christmas break
2) Hall will score 1.2PPG pace until january and his season-ending injury
3) Petry will be traded at the deadline
4) Eberle too
5) Oilers are well in the playoff race until january and Hall's season-ending injury, which will lead into horrible 2nd half of the season and top-8 pick
6) The amount of depression medication sold is on the rise in Edmonton

edit: I'm a Wild fan and these shouldn't be taken seriously. All the best to you guys.

Ah ha! Finally figured out Katz's master plan!

 

[thadd]

Arcobello doesn't last three months on the Oilers

Yakimov gets called up

Justin Schultz looks way better not playing minutes outside of his comfort zone.

Hopkins has a career year.

Oil fans go crazy because we've got so many good d prospects in the system who'll never see an NHL game because they're not good enough to push guys out of our current top 4.

 

[Still DRAI]

1) Petry will no longer be an Oiler before the trade deadline, and this will be a mistake
2) RNH will surpass Hall in points this year, both being top-10 producers
3) Klefbom will not start the season on the Oilers, but he will finish on the team
4) Purcell will show flashes of ability where he looks like a godsend, but will wind up turning into bigger Gagner
5) Gagner will look like a better player by the second half of the season in Arizona, but will not score more than 45 points

 

[oilman9482]

1) Hall 40+ goals and more than 100 pts
2) Scrivens plays 60+ games with a 92% save percentage
3) Yakupov scores 25 goals
4) Eberle gets traded mid season
5) MacTavish becomes coach and GM after a sub par first half of the year.

 

[Aceboogie]

1. RNH gets 75, Hall 87
2. Yakupov has average year
3. Fayne becomes unreserved best D on the team. Fan favorite
4. Schultz breaks out for a big year
5. Oilers make playoffs barely


Other
1. Vancouver and Edmonton end the year within 4 points of each other
2. Colorado finishes 20th in the NHL
3. Columbus finishes top 4 in the East, go to second round
4. Tampa also finishes top 4, goes to SCF
5. Anahiem finishes 5th in West, Dallas finishes within +/- 4 points

 

[Joey Moss]

1. Draisaitl and Arcobello start with the Oilers.. After 10 ish games Arco goes down, Yakimov comes up and sticks.

2. Kevin Quinn mixes up Yakimov and Yakupov at least three times every game by calling them Bogdan Yakupov or Nail Yakimov or just flat out doesn't realize which one it is.

3. Nugent-Hopkins hits 75 points, Hall 85.

4. Petry traded at the deadline due to Schultz's emergence and the contract situation.

5. Oilers eliminated from playoffs in the last few days of the season by Dallas/Colorado. (win the draft lottery)

 

[HeavyHitter99]

1) Hall will get more than 85 points
2) Nuge will breakout and score more than 65 points
3) Purcell's offense is a huge disappointment and he becomes our new whipping boy
4) Scrivens proves to critics that he is a #1 goalie
5) Justin Schultz takes the next step and improves his defensive game while also scoring 45-55 points


Hm: Draisaitl proves to be a good 2C

 

[McShiva]

Hmm, this sounds like fun

1. Arco and LD will start the season. LD is sent back at 9 games when MacT trades for a center using a top defense prospect
2. the Oilers will do okay till the start of Christmas, and then go into a talespin for January. By February, they will be out of the playoff picture
3. Trade deadline, Petry or JSchultz (if he doesn't perform to expectations) or both will be traded depending on performance for a Center as the team finishes their changes to reboot the team that MacT started when he took over. Arco will be sent back to the AHL, and Boggy (Yak2) and Klefblom will be called up and stick with the club
4. RNH and Hall will have career years, but not as much as everyone thinks. Ebs will not, but be close. The second line will almost out perform the first, but Yak will stay stuck on the 3rd line and not be able to generate as much as he will be by himself. he will do far better after the trade deadline, as he will get a proper center to play with.
5. Oilers end up 20-22 overall, with goals for slightly better, and goals against down, but there will be still a negative difference. Eakins will get fired when the season is over as the Orgs designated scapegoat for the year, though the team shows improvement at the last 10 games of the season

Like last season make 5 predictions about the oilers for this coming season

here are mine

1) Craig Ramsey will be head Coach by March
2) One of either Eberle, Hall or Hopkins will not be an oiler by march
3) Perron will finish with the most pts on the team
4) Pouliot and Fayne will take turns being the whipping boy of the oilers
5) Purcell does not get more then 20pts in the season

Dear god if you are right about that one I will cheer for the Sens. Unless it's Eberle and the return is fantastic.

I predict that:

1) Leon Draisaitl plays his 9 game stint and the Oilers are already out of the playoff race so they send him down to junior.
2) Oscar Klefbom is the first call-up on D and impresses mightily, sticking with the Oilers the rest of the season.
3) Tyler Pitlick provides some edge and forechecking presence on the fourth line and finally looks like an NHL player. Plays 40 games.
4) Viktor Fasth and Ben Scrivens provide the most stable goaltending the Oilers have seen since Dwayne Roloson. (Remember the year Jeff Deslauries played 48 games? We'll be saying that about Dubnyk soon I bet)
5) Ales Hemsky scores a hat trick in his return to Edmonton.

Bonus prediction: Sportsnet horribly botches their first year of national NHL coverage and we all miss Bob McKenzie's presence so much that we tape a photo of him next to our TV.

If they get solid tending, there's a very slim chance they botch the first 9 games

 

[CupofOil]

1) JTS will be wrong with his predictions yet again.
2) oilersfan11 will post McDavid pictures after every loss, probably even after some of the wins too.
3) Replacement will have a contrarian opinion.
4) Del Preston will post awesome gifs.
5) Tad Mikowsky will complain about posters complaining telling them that if they don't like the way Oilers are playing that they should just stop being a fan.

Oops, you meant Oiler predictions.

My Prediction?

 

[Isaak16]

1) Nikitin scores 15 goals
2) Pouliot scores 20 goals
3) Oilers trade their first round pick
4) Hopkins finishes above 46% on his draws for the year
5) Boyd Gordon scores 30 points

 

[I am the Liquor]

1. Mact trades Yakupov for Gagner, with the faint hope that Oiler fans will have someone to hate more than himself.

2. Dallas Eakins challenges a jersey thrower to a fistfight, loses, and removes all hot dogs, hamburgers and pizza from the concessions, replacing them with green smoothies, kale and tofu.

3. Bob Stauffer finally snaps, and tells everyone what he really thinks about the team, management, and Jack Michaels, is fired, and gets a job doing pbp for the Georgia Bulldogs.

4. Sam Gagner trademarks the name "Snowpants", and quits hockey after earning millions in the bitcoin market.

5. JTS loses his password, creates a new account and becomes STD, and infects HF Boards with an irritating but benign virus. Starts a new "who are you" thread where he claims to have played LW for the Prince George Cougars with Eric Brewer.

 

[flying v 604]

1) Hall gets 90 points but still finishes a minus
2) Nuge has breakout season
3) Shultz continues to regress and has lowest points in his career and worst +- in nhl
4) Katz starts handing out prozack to fans at games
5)Oilers do better this year and finish 8th 9th or 10th

Since im a nucks fan i'll do one for them as well for fun
1) WD wins Jack Adams
2) Twins and Verbata have the most points as a line in the NHL
3) Edler gets 60 points and is a +39
4) Nucks finish ahead of the ducks in reg season and beat them in the 2nd round
5) Miller has best season since 2010

bonus prediction. Stamkos gets 60 goals. and leafs finish as the worst canadian team Nylander quits hockey to be a hair model

 

[Oiltankjob Fail]

1. Oilers score 30 more goals in regular season then last year but only cut down 20 finish with 87 pts.
2. Eakins continues to make Yakupov scapegoat making him fixture on 3rd line.

3. Schultz score 20g 38 a 58 pts Nuge breaks out as well with 28g 46 a 74 pts.

4. Yakimov makes team Draisaitl sent down after 9 games of disappoint.

5. Replacement will be upset with whoever we trade during season stating he never liked the player but now does because he is gone.

 

[McDoused]

1. Draisaitl wins the Calder

2. Yakupov wins the Selke

3. Schultz wins the Norris

4. Eakins wins the Jack Adams

5. Oilers win the Stanley cup

 

[FlyingPhi]

1. Petry is traded by December
2. Hall will finish top 3 in scoring, RNH top 10 (BOLD)
3. Yakupov will have a strong season- 55 points
4. Yakimov plays 9 games, get sent down, comes up before deadline and plays lights out
5. Oilers will be fighting for a playoff spot until the end, end up missing by a few points finishing 9th/10th

All in all I definitely feel we will improve, our defence looks NHL calibre.

Hail Mary: We win the lotto < Tambo face >

The nine game rule does not apply to him. He can go back and forth from OKC, waiver exempt
