After falling short in the 2023 Final, the Florida Panthers clinched the 2024 Stanley Cup – a feat accomplished for the first time since the Pittsburgh Penguins did it in 2008 and 2009.

Will the Edmonton Oilers achieve similar success?

Analysts Mike Brehm and Jace Evans from YSL News, along with Mary Clarke from For The Win, have high expectations for the Oilers, who lost in a seven-game final. Two of them predict Edmonton will win the Stanley Cup, while all three expect the team to top the Pacific Division and Connor McDavid to capture the Hart Trophy as the league’s MVP.

There’s unanimous agreement on the rookie of the year and the winner of the Metropolitan Division as well.
