What the Oilers have accomplished so far is position themselves in order to have an opportunity to make the playoffs.

This year, they¹re not out of it on Halloween.

This year, even if they lost 10 of their next 15, they wouldn’t be out of it on Grey Cup Sunday. they¹d be 11-11-1.

What this team has already accomplished is to stake itself to a position] for a chance to sit at the playoff table very early in proceedings.
