Tkachev!
hmmmm... wonder if there are any current Oiler players at the draft in Florida.
Nail Yakupov didn’t play a lick of baseball growing up in Russia and it showed. He took BP in bare feet and couldn’t hit a ball out of the infield. McDavid was better than that, but not much.
Don't know for sure, but I did get this snippet from Tchkowski's article yesterday that indicated Yakupov was there.

Pretty sure he was just referring to Yakupov's draft year when he took batting practice then too.
16 hours to go
16 hours from now is 5:30 am Edmonton time Friday morning. What happens then?
Honest question, does any one know the exact time the Oilers will pick. I know it isnt' right at 5, last year I think it took them a good 20 mins to get to the first pick. I am playing ball hockey but will stop playing and check my phone at the exact time.
It's like ~5:15 give or take. Bettman does his intro and that's usually five minutes or so and then there's a minor break for the networks covering it.
I'm curious if Meier, Crouse or Rantanen drop to 10-13, do the Oilers try to trade up?
10/11 for 16 and 33 or 12/13 for 16 and 57?
Anybody know if the 2nd round will be televised at all?
The draft needs to happen already. I keep having a nightmare where Chia goes up and selects Lawson Crouse first overall.
Ugh, I really hope they don't take Samsanov at 16. A goalie at mid first is such a waste.
Ya, just ask Montreal........
