## Resource

Leon Draisaitl is optimistic under new coach Mike Babcock, believing the Oilers can rebuild their identity this season after a disappointing 2023 campaign. While critics like Jeff O’Neill question their Cup chances citing defensive woes and goaltending struggles, the team’s offseason moves—including retaining Jason Dickinson and Connor Murphy, trading Darnell Nurse for cap flexibility, and adding depth with Ryan Shea—signal serious intent. The coaching overhaul with Babcock, D.J. Smith, and Misha Donskov, plus a revamped blue line and goalie rotation featuring Andersen, Levi, and Jarry, paints a picture of a team actively fixing its flaws. Don’t write them off yet—this could be the year they finally click. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
