Can the Edmonton Oilers follow suit?

USA TODAY's Mike Brehm and Jace Evans and For The Win's Mary Clarke think highly of Edmonton, which lost in seven games in the final. Two have the Oilers winning the Stanley Cup and all three have them winning the Pacific Division and Connor McDavid winning the Hart Trophy as MVP to his team.
