Oilers win the Draft Lottery

I wonder what the reaction would be if he pulled a Lindros and refused to report? I actually wouldn't hold it against him.

In all honesty, would he be thrilled to go to Arizona (girls and golf aside) or Buffalo? Neither of those teams are knows as successful places where careers thrive.

Those teams are struggling, but thats a given for a team who gets #1 in the draft. The big difference is that they don't have a reputation for ruining young players.

Maybe the Leafs throw something like Pheneuf, 2 first rounders & JVR for McDavid. Who knows, what offers could come there way.

For the record, I'm not saying the Oilers should take this, just giving an example of what could be offered to them.

As a Lions fan, I feel bad for Oilers fans having to watch that disaster of a franchise.

That being said, I can't believe the Oilers get 1st overall again. Four 1st overall picks in six years is nuts. Somewhere built into the playoff lottery system should be a factor that accounts for when you last had the 1st overall pick. And how many times that's happened.

Buffalo has a ton of young talent coming up and arizona has domi and duclaire and no media hastle not to mention the sun ... Trust me he'd much rather of been in those 2 spots

Mactavish has already said he's not trading first pick ... Less than 0% chance

Now we should make it hard for him to say no and try and throw a deal to get eberle

HAHAHAHAHAHA As if the Oilers won. The NHL draft is such a joke. Buffalo did'nt deserve it after the tank job, but man, they must be PISSED!!

At least now Buffalo fans can take off their stupid makeshift McDavid jerseys.

At least the Oilers have actually won multiple championships in the last 30 years.

Unless McDavid pulls a Lindros. Though I doubt it.

Yeah I should clarify. They haven't sucked long enough to equate to the Lions. :lol:

There is some current similarity in the gross incompetence that keeps getting rewarded in Edmonton like what happened with the Lions under Millen.

It's sad.

With all the hype following this kid, you know the pressure on him is going to be enormous. And when Edmonton finishes at the bottom of the league next season fans are going to be pointing fingers for not being the second coming of Gretsky.

After McDavid, Hall, RNH, Eberle, Yakupov, and maybe Ference, the drop off on that team is enormous. Their ability is acquire zero decent D-men, goaltenders, and roleplayers is staggering.

They'll probably get the 1st overall again next year too.

You have any doubt?

There getting 4 first overall picks again in the next 6 yrs at this rate

Other then get a new ownership group in to change the team cultural, is there anything that Edmonton can do to turn this s*** show around?

Nope ... There so obsessed in thinking all they need is scoring to win

Lowe and mactavish need to go ... Only other hope is to actually have some picks outside of the 1st overalls actually pan out and become good players and from edmonton a past draft history it doesn't look like that's gonna happen
