Ryan Smyth playing like he's 25 again, and Horcoff benefitting from it? Super.

Lots and lots of upside to this team, I have watched their last several games, and they are just getting better.

Their Achille's Heel this year will likely be Khabibulin. Though he has been awesome so far, recent history dictates that he will not stay healthy with a large work load.

I think if the Oilers find a good young goalie or trade for a starter who can play 55-60 games, they will be right in the mix in the next couple years as well.
