The Edmonton Oilers are ready to make leap in 2011

After being the worst team in the NHL the past two seasons, the young guns on the Oilers are hoping this is the year the team makes the leap. Once of the positives of being such a bad team is that you get to acquire some very high draft picks. A familiar face in the return of Ryan Smyth should bring a smile to fans who've been buying Edmonton Oilers tickets over the years. Smyth was sent over to the Oilers from the LA Kings. Now 35 years old, Smyth should be a calming force in the locker room and should help the development of the younger Oiler players.

Edmonton has the two past #1 picks in Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, so expect them to have some big plays this year. Seeing them in person might worth the price of Edmonton Oilers tickets by itself. The Oil goalie Nikolai Khabibulin has to stay healthy if he's going to contribute to this team but the team is ready to support him. He'll be competing with Devan Dubnyk to be the starting goalie for Edmonton, so that is something to keep an eye on when you buy game tickets.
