Flames are 8th last. Just need to beat Montreal and Ottawa and we are 6th!

You are correct. Last few years of Oiler picks were not so good. Actually a number of past picks weren’t so good either.

A better thought would be Oilers have had 11 top 10 picks in the last 15 years including 4 first picks. Crazy.

2009 Paajarvi picked 10
2010 Taylor Hall picked 1
2011 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins picked 1
2012 Yakupov picked 1
2013. Danrnell nurse picked 7th
2014 draisaitl picked 3
2015 McDavid picked 1
2016 Puljujarvi picked 4

2017 Yamamoto picked 22

2018 Bouchard picked 10
2019 Bromberg picked 8

2020 Holloway picked 14
2021 Bourgsult picked 22
2022 Schaefer picked 32
2023 no first rounder
