Essentially he's Dustin Penner. That's why we need Sam Bennett.

Yeah, I'm praying Buffalo takes Reinhart.

DP was once our leading scorer and best player....I mean, he kinda sucks now. He was doing well in Anaheim though.

Stauffer mentioned Wilson could probably use a change.

1st + gagner for Wilson + 1st + Austin Watson

Is that worth moving down to 13?

Picked in the 1st round. Sure bet nobody else would have touched him until the 4th round. the Janitor was a waste of a 1st round pick.

Even if it were true (which it isn't), he would have no way of knowing it. Pure speculation.

Also, there's this article:

nice article! In all honesty, it is kind of fun to bust Feaster's balls on that pick. We've all had our fair share of "wtf" picks, and some of those turn out well.

I think Trouba will have the best impact from any of those selected in that draft. The guy is a machine.

Unless they see something of more value within that top 4 selection. They did win a huge trade for Forsberg last year.

Ya he does look like a beast back there!

I just get sick of hearing about the Jankowski pick. It was obviously a little off the board. But they said he would be a project and I'm willing to give it time. They also traded down to pick him and got Seiloff as well which people forget. You Oilers fans will get to know him soon enough

All in all, Feaster and his staff were great at drafting IMO

Given the drafting positions you were in, they did a good job. Hey, off-the-board picks will always receive outstanding criticism. We are just as tired of hearing about Yakupov being a 'bust'.

Pfft, Seiloff-schmeloff. just you wait for Kharia, Chase, and Roy. They will be great to watch!

Wait if you didn't beat the Canucks wouldn't you have been in Floridas spot and picking number 1. Almost better now to be at 3 and have the hand dealt to you.

Picking 1 or 2 would have been just no stop media second guessing why didn't you pick player A or B instead

I know . Actually I heard most of the lottery teams were hoping Jankowski would slide to the early 2nd round. Praying, in fact, that he would. Feasted has largely been regarded as a genius for taking him when he did.

When Penner wanted to give an effort he was dominant on the boards. No one could take the puck from him. We are missing that.

except, you know, it's not dumb. The only thing dumb involving Jankowski was him being picked in the 1st round. But it's ok, you're only 8 more years away from him being the best player in that draft.
