Matt Henderson: Draft Day +1: Leon Draisaitl & Salary Cap Shortfalls
- Matt_Henderson

Definite additions to be made on this roster. If Draisaitl stays up, I'd love to see another centre acquired to A) shelter him a bit and B) push Gagner to the wing.

As far as the draft today, I'd love to see the Oilers take a PMD, a couple of defensively talented wingers (NOTE: not facepunchers) and a couple of swing for the fences high-skill picks.

Jason Gregor pointed out that the Oilers, who were looking at a goalie with the 91st pick, will now be unlikely to do so since 8 have already been drafted.

Edgars Kulda

How are the oilers other picks?

Kulemin and grabovski are still my two hopefuls for ufa. Allows gagner to be pushed to wing and we might see something like this
Hall-rnh-eberle
Perron-grabovski-gagner
Kulemin-drasaitl-yak
Hendricks-gordon-gazdic

Dallas Eakins says "we might" when asked by @ReidWilkins if he's going to add another assistant coach. Wouldn't be an on bench role.

Eakins brings up twice that it might make sense to add a younger, less experienced assistant who might better connect with the players...

I'd be weary of a one hit wonder

How about

@rossmaclean: Calgary on the clock...I'm telling you Karlsson is worth the risk here....

Those lines look near perfect, but I'd bet Arcobello makes a serious bid for a permanent place on the roster. I'd bet he slides into 3C after Draisaitl's cursory 9 games.

Makes sense with the Oil Kings connection. I'm ordering my Kulda jersey now

Aquiring big players who can't play hockey is in style.

Ya I mean whatever.....not sure about these other draft picks they are making, although Mason MacDonald has some serious potential apparently.

Pick 83 for Bollig

Great grab by the Oilers. I'm jealous you guys landed him and I think he may be one if the best guys out of this first round in the long run. Great, great pick.

I'm glad to see that the Flames are still collecting 4th line players.

You guys really want Connor McDavid

Well he's better than Westgarth....

I don't mind it. At least they'll be tough.
