The Nuge
Some say…
Edmonton deserves mention. they've got 2 players not drafted near the top in khaira and klefbom thatvhave really made it as an NHL player and neither are very good. and half of their top picks have failed miserably too.
Since 2005, the Oilers have
2005 - Cogliano - Middle 6 winger
2007 - Gagner - 2nd line center
- Plante - Bust
- Nash - 4th line Center
2008 - Eberle - Top 6 winter
2009 - Paajarvi - 4th line winger
2010 - Hall - Top line winger
2011 - Nugent-Hopkins - Top 6 center
- Klefbom - Top 4 dman
2012 - Yakupov - Bottom 6 winger
2013 - Nurse - Top 4 dman
2014 - Draisaitl - Top line center
2015 - McDavid - Top line center
2016 - Puljujarvi - middle 6 winger with huge upside
2017 - Yamamoto - Lead his draft class in scoring and played the 3rd most NHL games in his D+1 year, despite being the 22nd pick.
They have one non NHLer, and a LOT of good talent. How exactly is that worse than Dallas?
