Oilers Win the Draft Lottery

[mattcookefan]

what is edmonton going to do when they have to pay 17 first overall picks down the road? this is a cap disaster in the making

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

McDavid's like, what the heck is there to do in Edmonton?

If the NHL had any luck (we know they dont), he would have ended up in Arizona who is in desperate need of a franchise player.

 

[SvenBaertschi]

He looked like Ralph Wiggums when Lisa dumped him.

You could actually pinpoint the moment his heart broke.

 

[CaptPantalones]

I wouldn't be shocked if he pulls a lindros now. He looks REALLY disappointed

 

[Unholy]

Dynasty of #1 picks and sucking..

 

[12345678910]

Legit the worst possible place. What a ****in black hole of an organization

 

[Chippewa]

Arizona wouldn't have ruined his career.

BUt hey, gotta dump on southern hockey fans at every chance you can, right?

 

[bad tape job]

Mcdavid looked like he just received a death sentence. .... Ummm maybe he did.

This result is BAD!

 

[donghabs98]

Seriously how does one of the most incompetent management teams in NHL history gets rewarded for this.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

oilers have to make the playoffs next season, or be close to...

 

[asdfman]

What a joke

 

[Retail1LO*]

Even Connor McDavid won't be able to help that bunch of misfits in Edmonton.

One day Edmonton will have to realize that you need some goddamned semblance of defense and goaltending. Especially when one forward after another proves that offense isn't enough.

 

[cbcwpg]

Oilers will make plaoffs next season!

Don't care how many 1st round picks they get.... Oilers are never making the playoffs.

 

[BluesTraveller]

They get Eichel. They're probably not that devastated.

They should be

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Oilers will find a way to keep losing, 5 years from now they'll still be collecting first overalls.

 

[SvenBaertschi]

haha your tears are delicious

Damn with McDavid are Oilers a dynasty in wait?

 

[Shareefruck]

Why would it be rigged? The NHL doesn't have any incentive to want Edmonton to do well.

If anything, if I'm the league, I'd rig it so that the Oilers don't get him, because this is the potential face of the league we're talking about, and you want him in a marketable organization that'll develop him properly

 

[In The Flesh]

Has to be rigged.

 

[EpochLink]

With Oilers management at the helm, you think they'll screw this up?

 

[DancesWithWookies]

It sucks because I really wanted to see McDavid win a cup

 

[Voight]

 

[habdynasty]

Well we get every oiler game here in Saskatchewan. I may have to tune in ..

 

[NHL1674]

get your parting shots in while you can

McDavid will be surrounded by great young talent. He'll be just fine

Same story...different year.

 

[HabsRockBruinsChoke]

Can someone GIF McDavid's reaction? They didn't show it on the channel I was on.

 

[Divine Wind]

The Oilers are a disgrace. Poor McDavid. What a terrible, terrible system.

Mmm ... nothing like the taste of sour grapes.
