I just noticed that the Oilers new arena looks like the head of a golf club.
Rogers Place. yuckyuckyuck.

I pray we can be like Chicago one day.
Oilers have so much more talent than the Flames and yet Flames play a good blue-collar team game and get the win. Says a lot. That boring Monahan guy is gonna be real good.
or Canucks watch some blackhawks game closely and learn how they are able to score and get some offense going.
Gillis !@##!$!! The so-called changes he suggested last year were nothing but window dressing; had he put Kesler out at last year's draft Carolina, who were still shopping to compete, would have made the No. 5 overall available and the Canucks could have had Monahan. The Flames have their stud centre locked up for the next decade...
Go with what you are familiar with, eh.I just noticed that the Oilers new arena looks like the head of a golf club.
All you need do is suck for an extended period of time, fail in a couple of complete rebuilds and then get lucky with your draft picks.I pray we can be like Chicago one day.

I wish we were Chicago.
Then we'll have to start drafting well like they did.
The Hawks sucked for a long time and drafted poorly before and after they lucked out with Toews (#3) and Kane (#1) in back to back drafts.Then we'll have to start drafting well like they did.
That team is stacked with talent.
Bickell Toews Kane
Sadd Sharp Versteeg
And they still have Shaw, Handzus

Here are some of the first rounders who never panned out in Chicago:
DYLAN OLSEN
KYLE BEACH
JACK SKILLE
CAM BARKER
ANTON BABCHUK
MIKHAIL YAKUBOV
PAVEL VOROBIEV
TY JONES
DIMITRI NABOKOV
ERIC LECOMPTE
The point is for many years while they sucked they did not draft well.They've had a number of late-rounders pan out too (Brouwer, Byfuglien, Hjalmarsson) who were part of the 2010 Cup team, getting steals in Sharp and Versteeg before they broke out and have done well the past couple of years with drafting guys who were on last year's winning team (Saad, Shaw, Kruger, Smith). Of course, they've had their share of busts along the way too but having that many picks to play with helps. If our output can be something similar to that it would be a nice start.
