Oilers Win the Draft Lottery

[NYRcupboundyessir*]

Teams shouldn't get 4 1st overalls in 6 years. Under any circumstance

Poor kid is gonna have his career ruined.

Yup. Oilers fans penciling in multiple hundred point seasons and all their problems fixed when in reality McDavid isn't going to develop into the player he's projected to because they're so horribly mismanaged. Zero vets in place to teach the kid to be a pro.

 

[Gabranth]

Rigged

 

[Gnova]

At least it didn't go to a team that tanked on.purpose.

 

[syz]

Craig's on it, boys.

 

[haveandare]

Unbelievable. Edmonton is going to be the marquee team to watch in the league. I surely will be tuning in. And anyone saying rigged, why exactly would the nhl go to those lengths to do that?

Yeah I highly doubt they'll be the marquee team to watch in the league.

They have less than no idea how to build a competent team.

 

[Luca]

Oilers will make plaoffs next season!

 

[LastRide]

Ok, who are the Oilers going to flip. I don't think they keep everybody. Deal one of their talents for a defenceman.

 

[Hank Plank]

Imagine how bad the Oilers would be without their picks. Think about THAT.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Could hopefully see another Battle Of Alberta brewing in a couple years.

I see this helping the Oilers in minimal capacity. Its the Oilers. Though I do hope they get better soon.

Wow!!

Dead bottom 6, dead blueline, dead goaltending, same result.

Look for the Oilers to be drafting in the top 3 again next year.

 

[Coach Parker]

The worst possible situation for:

The NHL
Connor McDavid and his family
The Coyotes
The Sabres
NHL fans

Another top prospect will go to Edmonton to die. Really wanted one of the two teams who needed him to actually get it.

What a terrible day for the NHL.

Good to know mcdavid will be in division :/ Feel awful for BUF and ARI. I think it's understandable that folks might be upset at Edmonton. Oilers have very few excuses now.

 

[Del Preston]

Oh baby

 

[Magicman]

McDavid looked like he just received a prison sentence

 

[BCShark]

the one team....

 

[boyinboyin]

Hall vs Seguin

Mcdavid vs Eichel

Eichel will be better

 

[donghabs98]

Kevin Lowe knows how to win guys

 

[TheHockeyRant]

The Oilers don't deserve it, after drafting so many top ten picks and doing so poorly they don't deserve this.

Also, I think we ALL know Yakupov is about to be traded.

 

[Apathetic]

How the hell do Katz and MacT get rewarded? Oiler fans, I get you guys are likely shaking right now, but the fact that such rank incompetence gets this type of reward makes me ill.

I can say as an Oilers fan I have discussed it with friends on how it would be disgusting if we won only because it may reward MacT and KLowe's incompetence. It's honestly a bittersweet feeling, I would feel a lot better if we cleaned house and brought in a new GM to go with McDavid.

 

[INTOTHEVOID]

Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Frankenheimer]

There should be rule for how many number 1 overalls you're allowed over a 5 year period.

 

[Mr Positive]

get your parting shots in while you can

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

 

[Halibut]

The Edmonton First-Overall-Picks. lol

Dont worry, they'll fill in that other spot in the top six with next years #1 overall.

 

[Hull Fan]

that's ****ing awful. everybody in the nhl got jobbed right there.
