Hey it could have been worse...... We could have taken Patrick O'Sullivan! Or Robert Nilsson.... Oh wait!!

It was worse! We took Marc Pouliot who is waaaay worse than O'Sullivan, plus we didnt take either of those guys

Not enough pudding for my liking.

I saw Bill Cosby live a couple of years ago, and it was literally the most boring 90 minutes of my life. The (frank)er got up there on stage and kept talking about how rich he is, and then he started going, "bloppity bloppity, boopity wiggity waggity waggity waggitty" for like the final 30 minutes of his show... The only thing of interest was him strongly suggesting we put jello in an ice cube tray and freeze it... I still haven't done that... Did you ever try that?

Yeah I know we traded for them instead!

You're right, it shouldn't at all. It's just frustrating to see a joke like Cloutier (an absolute laughing stock) talking about things he knows nothing about.. It's the same as reading the paper and seeing reporter's comments on situations they can't fathom.

I know Cloutier reads every comment on every one of his blogs and I always feel the need to remind him he's a joke. A guy with no sources and no credibility. Just some brainless loser who can look up stats on google

Cloutier does know hockey unlike you. You should stick to your Leaf boards and mind your own business. Keep up the good work Clouts!

Moroz over Collberg, Finn etc looks like a calgary flames type of move. But how in the world are the flames improving their team by trading down and taking a high schooler who won't be ready for another 5 years minimum. Watch edmonton will draft mackinnon next year

Im sure that was the Oilers excuse too, imagine grabbing Kesler, Richards or Weber instead

Hot tub time machine! I wish!

I love some of the posts by non Oiler fans...absolutely priceless...you never take a Dman first overall unless you're absolutely sure he's the real deal even then its a risk...every one of these guys tells us what we should've done but let's face it they would be pissed if their team passed on Yakupov..Yakupov is a lock to score 25-30 in his rookie season there aren't too many players in the draft that you can say that about...25-30 extra goals on the Oilers is a significant amount..Yakupov could finally break the Oilers drought in regards to the Calder which RNH was robbed this year but that's another story..
This team has in the past blundered first round picks on a yearly basis or do people forget the pouliots, reisens, bonsinore, etc...I for one am glad that our team has taken the best available player with every first round pick since we drafted Gagner..Also having too much of a good thing is good because you can always use a piece to fix a hole somewhere else...Also we all know that for the most part high end dmen are either traded for or signed in free agency..Not many dmen are drafted from the top end of the first round and end up succeeding on their drafted team...not too many doughty dmen come around...plus dmen take way longer on average to develope...also like someone stated many scouts have stated that Kleffbom is just as good as Murray...

Can i ask you a question in all seriousness?

In all seriousness do you seriously have to ask that?? My all time fav player: Scott Stevens. All time Fav Oilers (outside of the obvious Gretz) Dave Manson, Damphousse and Bernie Nicholls. Also liked Marchment!

I bet I can guess your least favorite Ghostbuster...

This was the same argument last year.. Oilers should've taken Larsson yeah and where did he end up? Not playing in the NHL..Also many scouts said that Klefbom is just as good as Larsson...we don't have a shortage of d prospects.. I'm happy with Marincin, Klefbom, Musil, and Gernat..All very good dmen prospects.. if I'm not mistaken both Gernat and Marincin were considered steals in there draft years...some of the best dmen in the league were later round picks....people will quickly change there tune when we have a Hall, Ebs, RNH, Gagner, Yaks, and Hemmer as our top two PP lines and we re tops in the league in PP percentage...

In your mind is it only young people that can see the mismanagement on this team?

Youre a Richard!! Clouts is one of the best bloggers on this site! He is also very entertaining, to bring an actual personal assault against the man, is just immature and low!

My god, I like your style!

Not saying I invented it... just highly recamending it.
