Not even close. The talent on those Oilers clubs far exceeds the talent on this Pittsburgh club.
As the previous posters stated, the salary cap prevents teams from accumulating talent.

Isn't going to happen.
There is no possible way for a team to assemble that kind of talent under the salary cap.
Just think of what the combined salary of Coffey, Gretzky, Kurri, Messier, Anderson, Fuhr, Lowe would be today, no way you could keep more than two or three of those guys.

No. in today's NHL it is extremely more difficult to maintain a dynasty. In the Gretzky Oilers era it was substantially more easy.

NO. Salary cap will cost them Malkin in a couple years. There will never be another NHL dynasty with 30 teams, a salary cap and Gary Bettman included in the mix.
