This was a difficult decision to make. The Oilers are in need of LW depth and Dylan Holloway is just sitting there prime for the taking. His play style is exactly what the Oilers need in their top 6. But they also need high end scoring and playmakers that can keep up with their top center minds of McDavid and Draisaitl. You have the DRY line and you need to help out McDavid. With the unknown of what exactly the Oilers will do with Jesse Puljujarvi and Kassian really not being a player that should be in the top 6 position. They need intelligence, creativity, grit and a goal scorer. BPA is the way we will go.
And by saying this...
With the 14th pick the Edmonton Oilers are proud to select from the Portland Winterhawks.
