<h2><strong>Jack Campbell</strong></h2>
<p>Many Nation Citizens seem to agree that in order for the Oilers to have a more successful campaign than the 2021/2022 season, then they will need solid goaltending from Jack Campbell.</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>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-120019 size-full" src="https://publish.oilersnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_9466.jpg" alt="" width="828" height="212" srcset="https://publish.oilersnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_9466.jpg 828w, https://publish.oilersnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_9466-300x77.jpg 300w, https://publish.oilersnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_9466-768x197.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px" /></p>

<p>Some folk just want him to be more defensive, the Oilers already have the offense! Can Darnell surprise the hockey world and win the Norris? a monster year from him is all we want!</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>

<p>The three notable players that everyone wants to see a career year out of next season. Jack Campbell, Darnell Nurse, and Jesse Puljujarvi. Maybe, just maybe Jay Woodcroft and his coaching staff can unlock a different level for all of them!</p>

Now if the Oilers want to lift Lord Stanley next June, they'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've yet to witness them at the peak of their powers.
