You are correct, my comment would have made way more sense if I said wings instead of oilers. I mean, what do you think the yzerplan could have done with ALL THAT HIGH END draft capital?

RNH, Yakupov, Puljujarvi, Hall... So many franchise changing players.
I understand why so many teams in the league are jealous of the Oilers draft gifts.
Gimme a f***ing break lol

Regardless, every team will take winning a handful of first overall picks, vs not winning, and improving chances of getting their McDavid.
Oilers had so many they literally changed the system.
And as the Oilers have proven, getting a 1st overall doesn't guarantee shit.
They didn't even have the 1st overall for McDavid, they won the lotto, they "earned" Hall, RNH and Yak. Woweee.

Yep and the oilers got the lottery rules changed, cause they kept winning it, wooo
Team was shit, what can I say.
Then they changed the rules and it gifted them McDavid, that's on the NHL and every crying fan of other teams.

Lol, you don’t even know when they changed the rules, your team won so many times.
So? They were mid players.
I wouldn't be jealous that someone picked Johnson, Dipietro or Stefan first.

Were they all mid players or was Edmontons org a joke with no leadership so they didn't pan out? Hall has a hart trophy ffs

Lot of Oiler trashing.. I was trying to show a screen shot of our different spots in the standings but Detroit was too low to fit in the image.
It's been a nice run though and I am curious if Detroit climbs into that elusive playoff spot.
Sorted by points percentage
The East wildcard race may be the story of the regular season as it looks to be an amazing finish to the season. I think Boston and Rangers have best shot of rising up into a playoff spot today. Big surprise for me is that Isles are 8-2 in the last 10 and have won 6 in a row. Detroit is second in that non playoff group at 6-3-1 and 4 in a row. Keep it up!

This thread is never going to die, apparently, even if it means trashing on teams other than the Wings

There is some nice wins for the Yzerplan apologists right now.. Raymond winning his draft class and llooking like a 100 poiter..Kaspar catching fire.. Edv looking damn good.. seider looking amazing... Larkin catching fire. So maybe it pivots towards wings fans winning!? Time will tell.

Ultimately 'winning' this thread will only feel good because of the product on the ice. The greater shift to younger players does feel rewarding.
I’ve said it numerous times here - Lalonde was Yzerman’s #1 fault at this point in time…McLellan is getting the best out of this team.
