Some more positive news.


Bleed Oil Blue @BleedOilBlue
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman talked to Oilers GM Stan Bowman in Florida at the NHL meetings. Bowman says Leon Draisaitl will be back before the playoffs for the Oilers if everything goes as scheduled.


Still gonna be up to everyone else to solidify that playoff spot though.

If they get lucky and things fall into place this could be a huge blessing in disguise.

1. Make playoffs - ideally win division and play LA/Seattle/Utah
2. Get healthy - Can not afford injuries to 97 or 2.
3. Bottom of the roster players chip in, develop confidence and feel like a bigger part of the team going into the playoffs. Frederic becomes Connor Brown 2.0.
4. Playoff beast Draisaitl returns for game 1 fresh and ready to dominate.
5. Oilers win cup.

Simple!
