McDavid To Go To Edmonton
Well the Oilers just won the draft lottery for the fourth time in six years. Classy interview with the Oilers in not releasing who they were taking (although it's a given) and letting that young man enjoy his moment on the day of.
I'm sure Connor McDavid is relieved the Leafs didn't win first pick

I literally just spit iced tea on the bed comforter, my wife just yelled WTF, and is now looking at me like I'm an idiot.

It is unfortunate that he didn't go to Buffalo and then he could pad his scoring stats every time he played the Maple Laffs because they would have been in the same division. Hopefully the Oilers revamp there coaching on general manager staff.

Wonder how many of the Oilers other young forwards move before October. They need defencemen and goaltending.
Make sure you have finished speaking before your audience has finished listening.

Edmonton is a prime example that a number one pick doesn't ensure success. They have had 4 of the last 6 number ones and they still stink. Without direction or leadership there is not much hope.

It was pretty clear that Shanahan was playing his cards close to his vest when Eliot Freidman asked him who he would pick. You're absolutely right about Edmonton's past draft picks. Drafting an excellent minor leaguer then trying to build a team around him is a fool's game.

Relieved? Edmonton is where #1 pics go to die.
Buffalo probably would have been the best for his career, they have a good group of veterans and he would have learned a few things about leadership, Edmonton he will be sucked into the vacuum of individuality.
