worst threepeat ever.
wow I feel bad for Jacket fans!
Gee, lemme guess... another small, skilled forward. I love seeing the delusional Oilers fans calling this the "New Dynasty" and talking about their next Cup. Their roster is still garbage with or without Yakupov. The young blueliners they have on the depth chart max out at 3rd pairing guys or PP specialists. Then you look at their future in net and the talent there is even thinner than the talent on the blueline. Just an atrociously run franchise.
Dubnyk looked really good at the end of the season, so there is some upside there. But after that I agree their D and the rest of the G prospects don't look promising.Quote:

Good god, how many #1 overall picks will make the Oilers not suck? 7? 8?
It didn't work for the Cincinnati Bengals, and it's not going to work with EdmontonQuote:
