I agree, while I didn't like what Lindros did but that was a different time in the world. The oilers organization is a disgrace, they are so poorly managed and coached its not even funny. Look at the first rounders they have had in recent years and there's no improvement.

It's not written in stone that Edmonton will pick him. There may be a deal that Oilers may make if an offer they cannot refuse (ie, Doughty, Stamkos, etc). If McDavid goes to Edmonton, I would agree that that team has so much wasted talent that management won't know what to do. They would have to trade some their young prospects for some veterens. McDavid needs a good mentor, like Crosby had Mark Recci as his mentor.

However, if the Leafs won the draft I am sure fans in Edmonton would be saying the same thing about the Leafs.

On the bright side I think we are getting a good player in Dylan Strome, the 4th pick is not too shabby in very deep draft. Also we have Nashvilles number 1 pick too, which could be number 25, should the Preds get eliminated in the first round.

It's been a bad day in Toronto sports. The Raptors lost, TFC losing 3-0, Leafs lost the lottery draft. What? The Jays won!

Edmonton needs to start fresh and get rid of their coach and GM and bring in somebody new. There is going to be some damn good coaches and GMs available.

The Nashville Predators got the worst first round match up against the Black Hawks. Any other team and they would advance, the Hawks outstanding defense makes up for their average goaltending. Maybe a decent defenseman will be available at 25.

McDavid is going to get smacked around in Edmonton. And is there any truth to the Oilers suing the Eire Otters for $45 million, what the fuck is that about!

It is $4.5 mil. Apparently Bassin(Erie owner) was supposed to move the Otters or sell them to someone who would move the team to Hamilton, Ont.
Oilers lent Bassin $4.2 mil. When the deal did not happen Bassin failed repay the loan and Oilers filed suit for $4.2 + interest and Lawyers fees which gets the number to 4.5

Good to know Hayward.

I see the hands of MLSE all over this one, Sherry Bassin has always had strong ties with the Leafs. Another bonehead move by the Oilers, here's Bassin's response.

It really says something about an organization when they had 3.. # 1 picks overall in the last 5 years and they wind up in the lottery...AGAIN!
Now its 4 ..#1 in the last 6...?

I have no problem with Edmonton getting him.

I doubt it was rigged... Conspiracies can be made in any scenario.

And no problem with 4 in 6 years. It's luck. Not any team had more than a 20% chance.

However how can you not have a problem with the entire manager team. It's time for Lowe, tambelllini, and mctavish to be sent packing, and use this great opportunity to start clean.

It will usually get you good .. But it takes time... The typical period at the bottom 7 of the draft is 3-4 years,

There is no secret to making a bad team good
get young talent who ...since they were drafted 1..2..or 3 overall...already have the skill set..
it's melding them ...along with the other players into a cohesive unit...and THATS where the Oilers lacked..
wIth all that young talent..they should NOT have been in this years lottery.
which proves that the problem is at the top
