On Oilersnation Everyday, Tyler Yaremchuk is joined by former NHL defenseman Jason Demers to break down the Pacific Division and why they believe the Edmonton Oilers are in a great position to finish atop the standings this season.
The conversation begins with Demers explaining why he believes the Pacific Division is wide open. While several teams made offseason moves, he isn’t convinced many of them actually improved. In his view, the Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks had the strongest offseason in the division, while several of Edmonton’s biggest rivals failed to take meaningful steps forward.
Tyler and Jason discuss why they’re skeptical of the Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights, arguing that neither team did enough this summer to separate themselves from the rest of the division. They also examine the Anaheim Ducks, with Demers suggesting that despite the excitement surrounding their young core, their offseason may not have been enough to secure a playoff spot in a competitive Western Conference.
With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading another talented Oilers roster, could Edmonton finally be on its way to winning the Pacific Division?

Can't wait to come back to this in March 2027
They don't have a competent first line. You mean to tell me that C.McDavid is gonna burn thru the YOUNG pacific with two declining players in RNH and Hyman?
Lol.
LMAO, even.
L.Draisaitl is gonna be 31, too. I'd be more concerned with the age of the soilers than I would the Kings, as EDM has more impact players that are kind of important on the wrong side of thirty than the Kings do.
Next coach to be used as a scapegoat for why they won't be accountable. Lol.
Bouchard screwups going to be highlighted now that they can't blame Darnell. Watch. So predictable
