We need this kid bad.

No more trading of picks please. The Oilers can't win a trade and the only selection they are good at is a top 4 pick.

 

[Jamesbay]

McDavid is a superior player than Matthews. When you already have have the most exciting prospect in hockey, how is an inferior player going to change anything?

I would assume that it will change the draft lottery rules again.

 

[Mr Positive]

It's lose for 'thews

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Just assume we get 4th overall. Only one we are guaranteed at.

Seriously. Patrik Laine.

6'4", 210 lbs and apparently plays with a Tikkanen edge and has a hell of a shot. LW too.

Oh really?? lol

You must be new to this draft lottery thing.


This is about as surefire as we can get.

5 Stanley Cups in 7 years..
5 1st overalls in 7 years.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

With a surefire top 6 forward in the bag for next year, We really should do Hall a solid and trade him for a defender.

 

[Canovin]

Don't want Matthews. Too embarrassing to win another lotto. Give me Chychrun or Laine. Laine is OV-lite. That's the type you want playing with McDavid and Yak

Its fate

I'd rather trade RNH+Eberle for a #1D than trade Hall

 

[Topkatz]

Screw that.

That's all we need, another hyped offensive forward.

 

[TKB21]

Trade the god damn pick now so we won't have the embarrassment of picking 1st overall and still being a piece of **** hockey team.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I'd rather trade RNH+Eberle for a #1D than trade Hall

Hall Nuge and Ebs wont get us a #1D

Best we could get is maaaybe a potential #1 like Seth Jones.
Eberle could maaaybe get us a Larsson or Fowler type.


With Drai/McD/Matthews as our forward core moving forward, they are at a more proper age to let our D develop with them.


This is a much more respectable core:

Matthews/McD
Hall/Drai


Jones - Hamonic
Nurse - Klefbom
Reinhart - Davidson

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Laine - McDavid - Yak
Slepy - Drai - ???

That could be a great top 6.

 

[Canovin]

Laine - McDavid - Yak
Slepy - Drai - ???

That could be a great top 6.

In 2 years

Hall-Drai-Slepy
Laine-McDavid-Yak

Sekera-Hamonic
Klef-Jones
Nurse-Reinhart

All the losers are off the team

We need some vets till then. I would be down with moving some guys for some good vet help till then.

Guarantee we lose that trade bad. You do know who the Oilers scouts are, right?

 

[SometimesY]

wishing for a high draft? I hope for wins to the bitter end.

 

[McDrai]

Trade the pick for a defenseman. Preferably one who can play defense

Hall + Nuge + Ebs and we could maybe get a Seth Jones.

Unreal. I realize the cap would be lopsided but wow.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I hope for wins too.


But when I see the team put in an effort like that, this year is not the year


The Weight era oilers had half the skill and talent this crew does, yet they would play with so much heart and determination they would will their way into the playoffs.

We traded a 1st round pick last year for Reinhart remember. Today that trade looks very bad.
