I don’t think dumping… er… trading Petry to NJD gets you 2AO. But am I reading they are in need of D?

We've been messing up picks since 1974, not sure management has much to do with it. Top 10 picks since 1974:
- Cam Connor (5)
- Doug Risebrough (7)
- Robin Sadler (9)
- Mark Napier (10)
- Dan Geoffrion (8)
- Doug Wickenheiser (1)
- Mark Hunter (7)
- Petr Svoboda (5)
- Shayne Corson (8)
- Terry Ryan (8)
- Mike Komisarek (7)
- Andrei Kostitsyn (10)
- Carey Price (5) - Probably our best one from the list
- Alex Galchenyuk (3)
- Jesperi Kotkaniemi (3)

Not playing around anymore.
Wehave, he already lives there.
Plus anything they want. Carey at 50%? I think they take him in a heartbeat just not for Draisaitl. That guy really impressed me this playoffs. Tough SOB.
doesnt help the tank and keeps us in the dreaded middle for his prime years
The best player in the world plays with a top 3-5 player in the world and they barely made the playoffs over the last 5 years
Great player , Edmonton hangs up the phone
There is no accelerated retool with the Habs
You draft your Leon and let him develop with the team
This is a marathon to the cup not a sprint to the dreaded middle and thats all Leon does for us
No D , goalie , depth , lack of skill and half a roster that is pure garbage
Nero just spent a decade driving this 18 wheeler off the cliff
Team is 2 years away from being 2 years away

Yup - As I’ve posted ad nauseam, post Gainey pick in 1973 only 1st round success stories have been Koivu, Price, McDonaugh, Pacioretty and Sergachev
Corson and Napier were solid players

Not really vs hometown Bossy or Gary Roberts vs Corson
Sure , but they are not busts

Pens made it work with Malkin-Crosby and scrubs around them.
Oilers will have to find a way to make it work around McDavid-Leon
Trading your best players rarely makes you better
Oilers just need better management
They were.
If they we’re close to average at the draft they would be consistent contenders
Terrible asset management by Baldy set them back for years
You only trade Leon if it’s clear he isn’t coming back

THAT was pure display of real character…. which lasted the entire duration of Oilers playoffs

Lost in all the justified complaints about our first round failures is how much we've been killing it in the 2nd/3rd rounds.
