We're picking at 31st.
Who ever Oilers draft i hope it's not a Finn.
Finnish players and Oilers doesn't work anymore so no more Finns to Oilers ( not even Lundell ).
Case Puljujarvi lost all my faith to this organisations abilities to handle young Finnish players.
My vote goes to QMJHL and i hope Oilers take Alexis Lafreniere or other Canadian player
Yeah if you look at the list I think we could be getting a guy who is a top 10 talent in the 13-14 slot this coming year.2020 draft is supposed to be really deep, no? I don't see us being that much better than this past year other than having a healthy D core.
Awesome Twitter thread about Quinton Byfield.
This kid is going #1. Book it.

I dont think that is a stretch at all at this point.In theory we should get another high pick
No Finns, no Russians...soon we'll be down to just Canada .
Would love me some Quinton Byfield but although we won't be great, we won't be that bad. (Unless we get a lottery win, so you never know.)
Lafreniere is in a tier by himself at 1. After that it's Byfield and Raymond all alone in the second tier. I'd love if we could snag anyone of those guys.
I don’t think it is clear enough yet to be putting prospects in tiers. Either way this draft has a fantastic top end, Lafreniere, Byfield, Raymond, Holtz, Lundell, Gunler, Perfetti, Rossi, Askarov, Drysdale, Barron, Holloway, Stutzle. Absolutely stacked for scoring forwards.Lafreniere is in a tier by himself at 1. After that it's Byfield and Raymond all alone in the second tier. I'd love if we could snag anyone of those guys.
I could see Lafreniere losing the #1 spot.
Late birthday(10 months older than Byfield) and guys like him tend to get over-scouted from being in the spotlight for so long.
