Oilers Win the Draft Lottery

[HanSolo]

**** everything.

Just the look on McDavid's face, Oilers probably feel so awkward. "4 first overall picks in the last 6 years, what a run" - Darren Millard

What a run? Sounds like it's celebrating a team being terrible for the majority of a decade.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Not sure why Edmonton fans are as happy as they are. This just guarantees MacT is at the helm for the next 10 years.

 

[Kb21]

Only team I didn't want to win... ****ing oilers

 

[Shrimper]

Don't forget, the Oilers and Otters (David's CHL team) are in dispute at the moment...

 

[KPower]

I feel bad for the kid...he's going to ****ing edmonton.

Poor *******.

 

[Auger]

Damn I feel bad for Arizona, but at least McDavid will never amount to anything of value now.

 

[BB58]

It has that "Rigged" feeling to it.

 

[Pepper]

Incompetence rewarded.

Just like Brian Burke predicted, KLowe has run the once-proud franchise to the ground and now their managerial incompetence will be sweeped under the carpet while KLowe and MacT shine in the spotlight.

Disgusting.

 

[ForzaItalia]

I call fix. NHL didn't want Arizona getting him and when it came to Buffalo or Edmonton, you know they'd want a potential superstar to fix the sinking ship that was once a powerhouse.

Disgusting.

Meh. They did the same thing with Crosby/Pens.

[KGL]

Absolute embarrassment.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I can taste the bitterness from here. Enjoy the hate, and let it take control. Come to the dark side.

 

[czar99]

Oilers fan here i come in peace......

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

Probably the worst possible outcome for the NHL and McDavid. Honestly, this is so disappointing.

 

[frag2]

At least Oilers were legit ****** unlike Sabres and Arizona who had management purposely design them to be ****

 

[illpucks]

How about how the Oilers were before and after Gretzky

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Well at least we know for certain this time that Edmonton won't screw up the 1st overall pick.

And with the first over all pick we pick Hanifin

 

[blindpass]

Not surprising. NHL wants the Oilers to be a good team.

lol -- I think this proves beyond a doubt it wasn't rigged. Nobody who isn't a die hard Edmonton fan would have wanted this.

Devastating development for @NHL. It's like watching talented football players go to Oakland year after year expecting different results.

[ungentrified]

What a joke. I'm not even sure Oilers fans are absolutely elated about this if it means that the current management takes this as a sign to stay put.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

How do you think you got crosby.

If you say so. But you didn't answer the question. How does helping Edmonton benefit the league?

 

[Lomez]

Sorta sad....

 

[Quares27]

That's pretty good, normally Mcdavid would turn a team into a great one but not that pathetic franchise. 5 top 5 picks in a row including like 3 first overalls and they're still absolute garbage. I feel bad for Arizona though, would've liked to see them win. They get screwed the most, Buffalo gets Eichel at least. Arizona will still get a really really good player though but Mcdavid/Eichel are a higher level than Strome/Hanifin/Marner

 

[Blufreezy]

I'd rather him go to LA or Boston than the Oilers. Please don't **** this up, Edmonton.

No offense meant to Oiler fans.
