Oilers Win the Draft Lottery

[Foundational Player]

He is not happy!! LOL

Pull a Lindros

Right? Thought he looked very upset, he looked as though he wanted to get the hell out of there.

Oilers, is that 4 first overall picks in 6 years.

Think they should change the rules where theres limitations on how many first overalls you can receive in a span of say a few years.

Mac T should hit the casinos tonight.

 

[Icelevel]

And the prize goes to......the most incompetent organization in the league. Great system.

 

[Kranix]

Hahaha weren't the Oilers the reason they changed the lottery?

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

At least we know that the NHL didn't rig it.

Now would be the PERFECT time to clean house. Can you imagine the number of elite GMs/coaching candidates that would be willing to come to the Oilers? But no, we'll stick with morons that wouldn't be hired by any other franchise in the league.

 

[MildlyAwesome]

I love that Edmonton fans are happy. You guys realized McDavid looked sad?

 

[Chojin]

This just seals it. I wish nothing but the worst for Edmonton. I'm going to actively root against them in perpetuity.

 

[Mr Positive]

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

that is the only fair criticism I see here so far. We'll see how it goes, but if we have to trade someone so be it.

 

[GordonGecko]

wow, Oilers

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

LOLOLOLOL

LMFAO.

McDavid looked CRUSHED

 

[Cynick]

Probability. ****ing probability.

 

[hi]

 

[Biggest Canuck Fan]

Congrats Oilers fans!! Now trade for some Def and goaltending!! Oilers will be a beast!!!

 

[Sniperr]

I hope everyone is ready for the next Edmonton dynasty.

 

[McPuritania]

Totally blown away. HF is gonna be fun.

 

[HanSolo]

I thought these changes to the draft lottery were intended to prevent monopolies on first overall picks yet they've had 4 since 2010. FOUR.

Oilers even if they find consistent success won't live this down. Some people forgot about Pittsburgh lucking out with the Malkin and Crosby, but they're never gonna look legitimate needing four first overall picks to be relevant.

 

[Auger]

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

Haha the Oilers actually tried to suck before but due to horrible management and drafting continued to suck. As far as I'm concerned, the Oilers are even worse than the Sabres and Arizona. I am curious to see how they blow this now.

 

[Hyzer]

Sad that edmonton is going to ruin this kids career. a damn shame

 

[OilTastic]

Welp, the least deserving franchise gets him. Atleast he's out of conference.

but now you'll have to deal with Jack Eichel in Buffalo!

 

[bigred50]

Feel sorry for the kid. He's going to be ruined just like they ruined the rest of their top draft picks. What a disgrace.

 

[Static]

Any chance he John Elway's himself out of Edmonton taking him? When is the last time that happened?

 

[KarmaPolice]

No one is jealous of your terrible franchise.

I never said they were jealous of the franchise. I said they were jealous of us winning 3 previous draft lottery's--two of which had no clear elite talent like a McDavid, Crosby, Stamkos, etc. Even the Hall/Seguin might not turn out to be at that level.

 

[542365]

Good for Edmonton. They have to turn it around at some point.

 

[MR4]

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

Well their GM does have a lot of dispensable cash to give to who he chooses.

 

[JustGivingEr]

McDavid to throw the rest of the playoffs with the hope he drops to 2nd.
