yes they will, IF Ales Hemsky can stay healthy for at least half of the season, and if Ryan Whitney can stay healthy. Hemsky adds a whole new dynamic for the teams offense, giving them two great scoring lines (RNH-Hall,Eberle, Smyth-Horcoff-Hemsky) and a great two way line with Pajjarvi-Belanger-Gagner. Whitney is a huge factor for the teams succes as he is the only top-2 defenceman the oilers have. He takes ice time off of guys like Gilbert who probably cant handle 25+ plus mins. If those two stay healthy, i can see them finishing anywhere from 3rd- 8th
