<p>Now if the Oilers want to lift Lord Stanley next June, they&#8217;ll need someone or a few players to have career years. Not named Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, well even that would be a sight to see as it feels we&#8217;ve yet to witness them at the peak of their powers.</p>

<p>A stellar year from Jack Campbell could seriously take the Oilers to a different level. The key for Campbell will definitely have to be consistency, and with the team&#8217;s expectations and the contract he just signed, he will have lots of pressure on his shoulders. Fingers crossed we get the best version of Soup!</p>
<h2><strong>Darnell Nurse</strong></h2>
<p>Nurse is someone who gained much criticism from around the fan base last season. Now if he&#8217;s healthy and ready to go for next season, can he prove the doubters wrong?</p>

<h2><strong>Jesse Puljujarvi</strong></h2>
<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t love to see a career year from Jesse? Last season he became a hot topic amongst the fan base, and while he&#8217;s fantastic analytically. Oilers fans would love to see him turn it around offensively!</p>
