now now, it was only 1 lottery pick, a 9th, and a 2nd rounder
- Big_Lightnin

I'm pretty sure 9th is still a lottery pick.

O. Gagner for an eight overall is a huge step forward. No matter how you look at it.

But its easy to point to some twitter jackazz and claim "see, gagner is worth THAT much". But the trade will never actually happen, because he isn't worth that.

By step forward you mean step backwards right? Im not sure how you can argue that trading away our 2nd line center who is a guarantee 40-50 points for a player who wont play next year and probably not the year after that, leaving us a huge hole to be filled by (gulp) horcoff, is a step forward

- Starbuck

I would assume any pick in the lottery (1-14) would be a lottery pick

Oh (frank), Prock is here.

Let me save everyone a little time by summarizing every response/post he will make...

*Clears throat*

Oilers are sh1t, and every player in their system is overrated.

My Favourite prock troll was "The Oilers are missing defenseman 1 through 7."

1-5 are lottery picks, no? They are the only picks that have the potential to pick first overall? Isn't that what everyones referring to when they say "lottery" pick?

I understand all those picks go into the lottery, btw.

Its not too far off. Last year it was "yeah right, whitney is a top line dman on almost every team in the league.". Now its Jeff petry??? Lol.

Ahem. Marlies jersey.

Never heard anyone say that about Jeff petry.

Whitney may never get back from injury, but he'll be a useful piece if he does.

Ahem. Marlies jersey.

Horcoff, what a underwhelming player

Please refer me to some of these Petry posts. Most Oil fans realize at the current moment him and Laddy form a solid second pair for us. He could become top pair, but nobody is saying he is right now.

The Whitney posts I can understand, because two seasons ago he was playing like a top 10 Dman in the league before he got hurt.

Horcoff, what a underwhelming player
- ernmerica

He's overpaid but he really isn't that bad. Its not like he's highly regarded or anything...

....he may be on to something here...

God I want this draft over. The reek of stupid in our threads lately is overwhelming.

1.Gagner will not get the 8th overall.

2.I don't want JBo. At all. Not even for Horcoff.

Nope. If he wasn't paid so much hed be the ideal third line centre. Its a shame, he signed that contract with perfect timing.

- TheTaoOfSemenko

Really? Bouw is overpaid for sure. But so is horc. But they're both decent at their role too. And bouw being decent as his role could help the oil WAY more than horc at his.

Just my thoughts. I'd do it in a second if I were you.

Oh good for you.
