Summer Skate -- Edmonton Oilers

The Oilers may have been the worst team since the lockout, but this wasn't entirely expected; they lost their only NHL-caliber goalie and their only legitimate top-six forward last year. Even healthy, no one would have expected Pat Quinn to perform miracles with such a young and defensively-weak team. Tom Renney's in charge now, and the defense looks better. The picture in Edmonton does too -- but there will be a lot of shifts from last year.

For the full breakdown on the Oilers -- who's rising, who's falling and who's next -- you need to be an ESPN Insider.
