I hate the Oilers as much as (probably more than) the next guy, but to say they shouldn't be eligible to win the lottery is just silly.31. Oilers. They received the greatest bounty of draft picks ever and they should not be eligible. I feel bad for their fans and McJesus but enough is enough. You got the best player since Sid.
The rules are the rules, we don't want this to be a dictatorship.
To answer the question, I obviously want my Canucks to get him. We have his brother's rights, the draft is in Vancouver, and we should end up with some of the best (if not THE best) odds at the 1st OA. It would be too perfect...so I'm sure it won't happen.
Honestly though, I'm sure he'll be a good, impactful player for a long time, but I don't think he's going to be in the Crosby/McDavid category
