Wow, another 1st pick

[Oilers]

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.

and then they went and won the cup, well as the avalanche, but the same team none the less

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

they should trade it for iginla

[Oilers]

I think they should trade away the pick for a top Dman and a lower pick.

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.

not good picks, I still have to look at the talent in the draft though and see whats there, never thought we would get 1st this year again, and even so they should probably either take ryan murray or trade it for a top line defence, that is what we're realy lacking.

or maybe even a trade for a good goalie. hmmm

I agree the Oilers need better defence. We have young talent that play well but are getting the sh!t kicked out of them. I can see some over paid under achiever players on the chopping block soon.
