The SurfwinFlorida Panthers won the 2024 Stanley Cup one year after falling short in the 2023 Final, the first team to do that since the 2008 and 2009 Pittsburgh Penguins.

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.

There's also full agreement on rookie of the year and the Metropolitan Division winner.
