McDavid, Draisaitl 1st Oilers pair to score 70 points apiece since Cup finals run

The Edmonton Oilers are officially living up to the hype.

After years of watching promising talent join the fray and fail to move the needle, the Oilers are finally slated for a return to the postseason, their offense remaining among the 10 best in the league.

While young captain Connor McDavid has been the elite foundation upon which this newfound scoring prowess was built, he's been far from the only offensive success story in Edmonton this season.

Also turning heads is Leon Draisaitl, who's followed up his 2015-16 breakout effort with a dominant 2016-17, amassing 27 goals and 70 points thus far this season.

Despite the seemingly endless parade of top-tier talent that has come through Edmonton over the past decade - Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Jordan Eberle being the most prominent of the group - the club's current group has quickly emerged as the best of the franchise's modern era, giving Edmonton two 70-point scorers for the first time in over a decade:

The last time the Oilers housed two 70-point scorers - Shawn Horcoff and Ales Hemsky in 2005-06 - their offensive prowess took them all the way to the Stanley Cup final, where they finished just one game short of a championship.

Only time will determine whether McDavid and Draisaitl can spur the Oilers to as lofty heights as those, but given their immense potential and the dominant season they've had thus far, there's no denying Edmonton finally has what it takes to make waves come playoff time.
