[Crabapple]

Nice, no surprises here

 

[Spawn]

Hope he is a great fit for the team.

Not pleased, I think we passed on the better prospect. But Draisaitl should be a good fit for the organization. Hopefully they don't rush him.

 

[KeziaTML]

Surprised it wasn't Bennet, still a great player.

 

[Philly85*]

Mehh

 

[nightfighter]

I approve.

 

[Tyrolean]

Massive mistake typical of this organization. Hope I'm wrong but I don't feel good now.

 

[Panda Bear]

Cool, I don't think we did.

I'm glad we actually have a player who specializes in puck protection and patience in our top six for once. Sam Bennett would be yet another run-and-gun off-the-rush player.

 

[thadd]

Yes..... so far we haven't ****ed anything up. Thanks Mac-T.

 

[Del Preston]

 

[Ninety7]

excellent

 

[PBandJ]

...

 

[Hemsky4PM]

Ecstatic. Great player. Some people knocking him have no basis. He gives us a chance in a beefy division. Really excited to see him with Edmonton. I think it would be wise to bring in Goc,

 

[oilers83]

Yes..... so far we haven't ****ed anything up. Thanks Mac-T.

It's still early

 

[ChokeOnOil]

I'm not happy with the org, in fact I'm pissed.



However... they were two really close prospects and we took the one that matched our need. No clearcut BPA imo so whatever.

 

[Joey Moss]

I like it. Really couldn't have gone wrong with either but size is a need.

 

[Still DRAI]

I think that Bennett will be the better individual player, but I'm starting to come around to the idea of Draisaitl being a better player for our team.

If Draisaitl can turn into a Thornton (not quite a Kopitar), that's still a huge, huge addition to our team in the future.

 

[russ99]

Great pick. Remember, defense can be taught. Puck vision and playmaking skill can't.

 

[Panda Bear]

Bennett will make them regret this pick.

Classic size over skill. Again. Not happy.

If you take Bennett, you end up with the most one-dimensional offence you can get. Draisatl's style is a far better fit for this team, and it's not like there's any gap in their talents.

 

[IV XIV XCI]

Does Leon play for the Oilers this year?

 

[Frank the Tank]

If he improves that first step, he could be a perfect pick for the Oilers.

Sucks that we will have to watch Bennett, the other option, wear the Flames' jersey for the next decade.

 

[Uindicator]

Nickname- diesel

 

[hs86183]

Nice

So my next vacation spot will be Edmonton

 

[Paralyzer008]

OHHHHH BAAAAAAABBYYYYY

We got the biggest C in the battle of Alberta and a guy who's basically our version of Joe Thornton.

Amazing pick at the end of the day.

 

[The Nuge]

Nickname- diesel

Not bad. He is a ****ing tank after all
