Sweet! What are the chances!

[ensquire]

Now, who do they pick ?
One of the Russians or Murray.
I think they should trade away the pick for a top Dman and a lower pick.

It is a good day to be an Oilers fan. Not so much if you are a Columbus fan though

HAHA that kicks ass.... kind of. The last time a team got 3 years in a row it was the Nordiques.

It's obvious that someone in the NHL organization was feeling sorry for the Oilers once again this year.

They can trade the 1st pick to Columbus for Nash. He wants out of Columbus anyway. I take Nash over those two Russian players any day.
It works in Columbus favor as well. With #1 and #2 picks, they can pick both Russians and build their team around those two players.

You must be kidding. Iggy doesn't have much left, maybe one or two years max. I also doubt he wants to play for the Oilers.

It's more like somebody just wanting to screw Columbus badly this year.

Wow! If the Oilers can somehow persuade all these top picks to stick around for awhile they're going to be pretty damn good. Until they get better defensively though it may take some time.
