Oilers Get Nailed

So it's like this:

For the third year in a row, the Oilers own the 1st overall draft pick.

Nail Yakupov is the clear top prospect. He might be a smaller right-winger, but he's a goal scorer who's compared to Pavel Bure. He's going to be a 40 per season goal guy. We're talking huge talent.

Options. The Oilers have options.

We could draft Yakupov and move Ales Hemsky.

We could move Yakupov's rights to get a top pairing defenseman.

We could just draft him and see what happens.

This is ridiculous.
