I'd love to know what the Jackets were thinking, but this is cool.

His career is already ruined after shaking hands with Mac-T, things can only get worse from here

I didn't want us picking, but that's because I didn't think this was a possibility. Love it. Makes it easier to deal a $6m man for a dman.

Wow. The forward group on the Oilers is officially insane.
Just find some lugheads to pass the puck up the ice.

Never really considered him as an option once we were slotted at 4, but hey outside of RHD a right shot winger is the next largest area of weakness. Nice Pick!

Ha! Thanks Columbus.
How did they not get anything from us trading down? I'm sure Chia would have given up something small if he knew #3 was available to him.

That sure worked out well. I wasn't 100% sold on Tkachuck so this is even better.

1. I was hoping for a trade.
2. I was happy with drafting Matthew Tkachuk if we drafted #4
3. I am ecstatic that we got the consensus #3 at #4...thanks CLB!

This is how I see it:
We needed to trade from a position of strength to fix a position of weakness. This draft just increased our position of strength more than was expected going in. So we are definitely set for a big trade to get some D?

The Oilers now still only have two right handed forwards in the top 9.
2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!

My guess is that Montreal wanted Dubois, when that went to Columbus, the deal was off. No Subban today

...or they take Sergachev and feel they have a guy they can mold into a replacement, and deal Subban

Even when we lose the lottery we win! Thanks CBJ!
He's got GREAT wheels as well, big body with hands, shot, perfect compliment for McD. He can play next year if needed, or not. He's a BIG kid, said he needs to get stronger in the summer. He'll be a load.
One thing he needs to do.. needs to enroll in some summer ESL courses :)
Chiarelli has so many more management options now, might actually be able to orchestrate a D-man transaction before October.
Going after Lucic may not be as pressing now.
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,

This is a nice surprise, but does not make us a playoff team next year. I still fear year 11 to break the record. That pick should have been leverage to get someone for now, not 2-3 years away.

Better not have been without a trade down. But from 4 on this year it was a crap shoot, so glad he fell to us. Did anyone else notice how stunned the Oilers were? They didnt even have a name bar prepared for him lol.

May not be an awful idea? At least for half the year perhaps? You know injuries will occur in the top 6, then maybe he come up? Similar to Drai?

And more importantly not have to force him into the NHL.
If he plays a year in the A, does that burn an RFA year? It's a pro league after all.

I don't think the AHL counts as long as he doesnt play more than 10 NHL games. But I could be wrong.

Apparently not, has to play 10 NHL games

If the only FWD's we get rid of are Pouliot and Korpikoski and we manage to sign Lucic, it is pretty ridiculous..
Lucic-McDavid-Eberle
Hall-Draisaitl-Puljujarvi
Maroon-RNH-Yakupov

Even if Pouliot is kept and Lucic isn't signed... still looks like a great top 9 and a gritty energy line. Still lacking lacking lacking on the backend though.

So from a few years ago when the future was small with: Nilsson-Gagner-Cogliano
To now where we have as our potential second line: Maroon-Draisatl-Puljujärvi
Potentially on July 1st: Lucic-Draisatl-Puljujärvi
Big upgrade in a big boys league.

Love the jokes about how we still win the lottery without winning the lottery.
Thanks again Columbus!

I'm in shock that the oilers got Puljujarvi. He's who the oilers wanted before the draft lottery. When they dropped a spot, Chia was clearly upset. Then out of no where the oilers get their man. The oilers needed some size, speed and skill on the right wing. They got that.

If you want a good laugh, go to 2:35 and see his family reaction to him being picked by us instead of Columbus
