If the Oilers trade their lottery pick + a top prospect, they'll land a #1 or #2 dman(which everyone knows they need).

If they feel they can still cheap out, then they deserve to get NOTHING.

Like usual, we`ll walk away with nothing

Blockbuster!!?? Guess as far as Oilers are concerned it might be. Hope they have something bigger in their blockbuster game than this!

We were hoping for a couple late picks in drafts years from now for our starting players

Quit saying "we" to try and make your silly points appear less biased

You're a leafs fan


Davidson looks great.
Oesterle looks like he might be.
Khaira has a ton of potential.
Lots of other guys are still possible

This narrative works for the past regime, and in the early part of the decade, but it's far from a fact since the rebuild started. very much still up in the air. We've drafted and are developing currently. That's par for the course with later picks. They take time.

Its been my experience that she doesn't abstain from such carnal activities.

Hell, we even followed Buttons list and picked YAK

Doesn't look great

A redraft prob has forsberg, trouba, vasilevsky as the top few picks

Lindholm and Reilly maybe


Either way, doesn't matter that we took the consensus 1 and he's closing in on bust.

To be fair there's 4 in the past 6 seasons, including a generational talent. And I think "not the worst" might be an acceptable substitute for "the best".

Reilly / Trouba for sure

That generational talent has played 20 games. As an 18 year old. With the leagues worst defence.
Plus yaks.
Plus nuge who's a very solid two way player, but nowhere near what we think of a superstar firsts. And he's out for over 2 months

Essentially, hall + 20 games of Connor.
Then 2 guys who wouldn't be first in any normal year. Yaks would be nowhere close


Just To be completely fair....

But yeah- we should be better no doubt

That is fair. The Oil shouldn't be this bad yet again.

How are the Flames doing this year ?
- prismo

terrible, not sure how you guys have put up with this for 10 years

defensive much? I said they need to move salary at forward...they do they are the WORST TEAM IN THE NHL and everyone and their dog knows its because of a lack of D. With the contracts on the horizon any idiot can see the Oilers will have to move forwards.

This is nothing new, its been said repeatedly for a year. PC will make a deal when one is available to him. Probably at the draft.
