Yes.
"Would you draft McDavid if you won?"
Probably, yes.
Just showing draft simulations and asking the most basic questions. C'mon let's get this on.

Like I said a couple of days ago, the pre-pre game show.... but it looks like they got a lot of people to watch those commercials by posting the early starting time. I'm guessing about 5 mins now

Anyone that wants to see the actual lottery happen that lead to us getting the pick:

Bettman looks really tense after he finds out we win. And the guy pulling the balls out makes a funny face after he finds out.

btw, that is always how Bettman looks!
Agreed with all who say our management doesn't deserve this, but we as fans sure do! Hall-McDavid-Yakupov 2nd line next year? WOW (can't see him going back to Junior).
hmmm.... who will be better? Bennett or McDavid???!!??!! @ CalgaryPuck and other Flames denizens of the windswept grasslands! (not that I frequent it, but I am tempted today to go see their reaction LOL )

Amazing they actually can do something right. Win the draft lottery!!!
I didn't watch it this year and when I was told by a friend, while I was out, I think the smile stayed on my face for a good ten minutes.
Now more then ever it's time for Lowe and MacT to go. This pick is a huge win. Time to get this team on the right track, well past time and as we know they're not capable of it.
Huge win today and now bring some guys in to use all these young great players and maybe a superstar the right way. Build around them and the team the right way.

Katz and Lowe may not be able to build a winning hockey team, but they can certainly win the lottery. I wasn't believing that we'd won even though I could see the news, solely on the basis that this Oilers club just don't win anything...

I dont know why theres so much backlash? For one the Oilers didnt lay down like Arizona and Buffalo did for the last half of the season. Buffalos fans were cheering on the other team to win for friggs sakes! Arizona traded everyone who could score and defend goals, Edmonton tried to claw its way back to respectability even beating some good teams in the home stretch of the season. This lottery win is just pure dumb luck, McDavid is coming to a city with a new barn rabid fans and an owner who can pay him anything. McDavid is going to be a god in Edmonton.

The main reasons for the hatred based on most of the comments I've seen is the following:
- The nimrod assheads who've run the Oil team into the ground have just been rewarded for their incompetence. I can agree with this assessment fully, as it's true. This is basically like seeing a drooling idiot win the Lotto 6/49 before they announce that they're going to spend it all on beer and hot dogs.
- The Oil have now won the 1st overall pick 4 times in the past 6 years, and everyone else in the NHL is sick of seeing it. I am actually not in full agreement with this complaint. Sure, the Oil have gotten those picks, but that's what happens when you're the NHL equivalent of a bottom-feeding algae-eater. A team sucks, they get the top picks in order to get better. The NHL changed the rules to cut down on the number of times any one team could be rewarded for being crap, but the Oil got very, VERY lucky this time. I'd bet the farm that if this year's draft didn't have anyone nearly as hyped as McDavid, we wouldn't have seen even close to the amount of hatred that's been expressed so far.
P.S.: The scary thing is that if McJesus turns out to be everything that he's made out to be, the MacT quote I put into my sig will be 100% right.

Get rid of Kevin Lowe!!!!! He isn't going to screw this up by demanding something stupid from McDavid in three years. His management of top players in the past should be one of the dynamics Daryl Katz needs to realize before he makes McDavid turn sour on the organization if he comes in and scores 100+ points in his first three seasons and Lowe wants to take him to arbitration. We will also need some beef in the top six, might be time to revisit a possible trade with Boston and try and pry Lucic and possibly Hamilton for Hall.

Never actually watched that before. Unreal. Betteman pretty much gulped an FML when our name was announced.
Time to do it again I guess.
Winning 1st just opens up a plethora of options. Trade down and get a kid like Chychrun plus a dman that we can insert now. Keep the pick and trade a vet 6 million kid without fear.
