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.
|
I love how taken aback Bettman is. It takes him a few minutes to process what just happened haha
|
I wish the video was 30 seconds longer showing Bettman destroying the machine with a baseball bat.

So a little off topic here but why if we do trade our 1rd pick i would like to see us get a couple of late picks on top of the return for it. If we can add a few more bullets the gun and go out and pick up a bunch of dmen late in the draft where is the harm in that.
This forum has turned into a pessimistic cesspool of bitching and whining about the same topics consistently.

How are those late picks doing, anyway? I haven't bothered tracking it because I assumed the Fab 5 Bonus Bullets would all be total busts because MacTavish.

If you're talking Caleb Jones and Ethan Bear, they were both solid picks, and had great years in the W this season. Ethan is still in the playoffs with Seattle.
Ethan was # 5 in scoring for D-men (19-46-65), and Jones was #11 (10-45-55)

Nope, Bear and Jones are Chiarelli picks.
The five picks the Oilers got for #37 a couple years ago are now Platzer, Slepyshev, Yakimov, Houck and Muir. Could turn out okay, could just be five misses for the price on one.

I feel like this thread, which is hilarious, is when Oilfans became a self-aware collective and made a wild heel turn. Riveting stuff. I hope the rest of the league has a sour taste in their mouth from this still.

it's so disturbing that I can't get the Oilers to come up using this now:

Why did they move the draft lottery so late this year? First Saturday of the second round? I know they moved it to the first Saturday of the playoffs for the McDavid lottery. Why so late now?

I think it's because no one cares once the Oilers have graduated out of it...
(in all seriousness, having five less Canadian teams in it this year probably does play a role).

I've spent a good amount of time today watching McDavid Draft Lottery reaction videos. Good times.

I'm so excited, my 5 year plan starts tonight!
6:00 pm - Watch the NHL announce the Oilers win the Draft Lottery
April 20th - Get the news that Bob Nicholson fires everyone from Kevin Lowe all the way down to the scout staff
June 26th - Oilers draft Connor McDavid
July 2015 - Oilers announce Mike Babcock as coach
June 2018 - Oilers win Stanley Cup
2019 - I win the $50 Million Lotto Max
2020 - I marry a supermodel
I've set realistic goals and since all of this seems plausible I am not setting up myself for disappointment.

Normally I wouldn't bump a three year old thread to make a cheap joke, but you linked to the 2015 draft lottery thread from the future and it's your post so....
I'm a little worried about your plans for the next two years.

This is so depressing. Only two of those came true so far :
Oilers winning the Draft Lotto and the Oilers drafting McDavid.
"Bah Gawd! Would somebody stop the damn draft!"
