What might the Edmonton Oilers roster look like 5 years from now?

A speculative analysis from The New York Times examines what the Edmonton Oilers' NHL roster could look like by 2031, five years from now. By that time, star players Connor McDavid (age 34) and Leon Draisaitl (age 35) will have aged significantly, with McDavid having already reached free agency in 2028 and Draisaitl two years away from it. Veterans such as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Mattias Ekholm, and Frederik Andersen are projected to be retired or playing elsewhere by then.
