are the oilers top 6 forwards all picked within the first five picks of the draft? unprecedented, I believe.

and they still suck

If i am Edm i entertain offers from the next 4 teams to swap the pick. That is the goal is to win the cup. If you can't get a king's ransom you keep the pick.

Taken 4 - Liam Neeson tries to save Connor McDavid from being drafted by Edmonton.

They like Eichel.

Edmonton's weather sucks 95% of the time whereas Buffalo's weather sucks like 80% of the time.

And the wings in buffalo are second to none.

Hexy gonna be throwing the house at Edmonton.

Too bad we don't have D men to throw.

Oilers will trade Hall or Hopkins for sure for some Dhelp

Where would you rather go, Buffalo, or Edmonton? At least Buffalo has good wings.

this (frank) butchers the anthem 100% of the time and also can't swing a towel in a circle.

They like Eichel.

It's also much closer to civilization.

What are the chances McD is on Edmonton by the time he turns 26?

I'll stick with 7th.
- ob18

Considering the cost....can't say I disagree.

Who would hockey buzz like the flyers to pick at 7?

Schenns and 7 to Arizona?

Well, if the Flyers weren't going to get the top pick, pretty much the best possible outcome.

And oh yeah.... LOSER!!!!!

And they won't be picking 1rst for the 4th time in 6 years....

Why should we be the only ones bitter about not getting the #1 pick (Patrick Kane) the year we stunk up the joint? Oh no, lets share that sensation.

I don't feel sorry for Buffalo, not this year.. not when they tanked. The Flyers didnt tank, age and injury caught up with them.

Besides, Jack Eichel is not exactly a trivial consolation prize. Anyone who has watched both Eichel and Mcdavid play has to admit to at least the possibility that Eichel ends up being the superior player when all is said and done.

Didn't take long for crazy trade ideas to hit the thread.............

Looking forward to seeing Provorov try on the orange and black shortly.

I can admit that with Edmonton winning.. That poop maybe isn't rigged after all.

AZ picking three is very good for the chances of Hanifin or Provorov bring there for us.

Kevin Lowe's first conversation with McDavid:

"Connor, we are happy to have a superstar on the team. But we have a real need in goal. Would you mind switching?"

I love the notion of offering the Poo Poo Platter + the 7th pick for one of the top 3 picks. Yeah, right.

i dont know whats more comical. the lottery outcome or the pens d attempting to pass.

I'm good with stocking the cupboard with a bunch of dmen. It would be a nice change from the team's history.
