No hasnt Chicago proved enough to you over the last how many years? They are not a big sized team.

Every day this week I have run the simulator just once. Every day this week, it has come up with Edmonton at #1!

lol, statistics are clumpy, thats for sure.... i just ran it 14 times, and montreal won it 4 of the times, more than anybody else, and picked 3rd 2 other times
people need to be prepared for something weird, like boston picking 2nd overall

Thanks for having my back, haha. And I agree. You keep all non-McDavid options on the table (happy?), and take the deal that gets you the best quality dman. Because that's what we really need. I could see a bunch of lesser, but good, parts working okay, but I'd really, really like to get a true number 1 if at all possible.
But that's for the trade thread. To get back on topic - I really respect your opinion on prospects, so I wanted to get your thoughts on this: what do you think of the difference between Laine and Puljujarvi? I mentioned this a few times in the Matthews vs Laine thread, but I just don't get the hype about Pulju. I see the size and raw talent, but it's very raw to me. He's a fast skater, good backchecker, good effort, but to my eyes, from everything I've watched, he's really lacking in puck skills. I'm not impressed by his stick handling, passing, or shooting. They're not terrible, but they're inconsistent at best, and it's this lack that makes him far worse of a pick than Laine to me. Especially on a team like the Oilers with a huge track record of failing to develop promising first rounders. The example I keep thinking of is that he's a better version of Magnus Paajarvi to me.
Thoughts? Am I completely off base here? To be clear, I do think he's an impressive prospect, just not nearly as good as the hype would suggest from all the film I've watched of him.

So I was looking into aerial advertising rates for Toronto today. Would it be feasible for HF Oil members to all chip in on a "troll banner" should we win the lottery on Saturday? There are pretty reasonable rates and at $5 per member I think it would be hilarious and probably receive national media attention.
What would the message on the banner be?

No interest in this at all. We'd come off looking like *******s for no reason.

I think you could just book an "Enjoy!!!! From your Neighbors in Edmonton" Sign.
That could work out either fantastic....or meh. depending on the lottery results.
"Better luck next year!" "Thanks for coming out and being a good sport" "Blame Kessel" "Save the salt, its the lottery's fault"

Can we just get a Tambo troll face on it? That would be hilarious.
Think I might have to have a Tambo troll face avatar at the ready in case we win.

That last one is gold!
I was thinking, "It's okay Toronto, maybe your balls will drop next year!"
Rofl, We could always just fly a banner with the "Congratulations you played yourself" meme "Don't worry, were trading the pick anyways" "Okay, NOW you can change the rules"

Just overated because he was the only Canadian at the top of the draft. I personally have him at 15.

Do you have any defenceman in the top 10? If not, that's just a sign of a bad scout IMO.

Dubois wasn't hyped for years though Chychrun was thought to be a top 5 pick for the last 3 years.

Juolevi,Sergachev 4,5.
I value IQ and Skating over all attributes and Chychrun is lacking in both IMO.
