Oilers Win the Draft Lottery

[Hank Plank]

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

Does a stone sink in water?

 

[Skeptikal]

I'm glad for Edmonton fans but it is ridiculous how that incompetent management group keeps getting rewarded for being horrible at their job.

 

[Blueland89]

My head almost exploded when i saw it.

Did anyone else think he looked like he was about to cry?

Edmonton...Where young hockey talent go to never be heard from again...

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

What a joke. Absolutely pathetic. The NHL is becoming less and less watchable by the year.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Disgusting.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Thank god Buffalo's tank failed.

 

[PlietscherDassel]

Hate that the Oilers won because of their management but i'm happy for you Oilers fans. Congrats.

 

[MildlyAwesome]

You're the blinded ones here. He is just not a public speaking type.

Mental gymnastics. Have you ever seen him interview? He looks way more normal than this lol

 

[SLAYER]

LOL. Congrats Oilers, have ANOTHER 1OA.

 

[zombie kopitar]

Garbage. The worst outcome possible IMO.

other than LA, yuppppp

they just don't really deserve him

 

[Siddi]

Another talent sucked into that dark hole of a franchise

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

The birth of my kids. My wedding day. This.

The three best events of my life.

Go Oil.

[Canadian Canuck]

**** off. ******* disgusting.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I don't care how this sounds, but I mean it with every fibre of my being...I hate you Edmonton.

 

[HydroF]

McDavid's reaction said it all. He doesn't want to play in Edmonton, and most of us didn't want him to either.

Can't believe Edmonton won, again.

 

[Super Cake]

Even with the Oilers management there's no way they can continue to suck with McDavid, RNH, and Draisaitl as their top 3 centres.

Or yes they can if they don't get adequate defense or adequate goaltending.

 

[NHL1674]

Not showing up to play for a team usually hurts a player's value big time in the eyes of other GM's. But honestly, if he were to refuse to play for them, I could imagine most GM's understanding why....wouldn't hurt his value at all.

 

[Shaman464]

So, a few years from now I imagine that the FA market will be loaded with the talent the Oilers can't afford.

 

[Lilou]

Do Edmonton fans really think it's fair they get it 4x in like 6 years?

Don't worry man. They'll still fail. It's the oilers.

 

[HOCKEYGOON]

From a business standpoint this is terrible for the league

 

[ROSSter]

Knowing Edmonton, McDavid will start as #1 day one.

He needs to pull a Lindros and not report and demand to be traded

 

[KelVarnsen]
