Complaining about bad luck when drafting #1 three years in a row and we're gifted a generational player. Their lack of self-awareness has reached new heights.

So you're saying the Oilers and their fanbase are pretty much like Dudley in the Philosopher's Stone.
Pittsburgh needed only Crosby and Malkin to lead their rebuild into contention. Chicago, Kane and Toews. Edmonton get Hall, Nugent-Hopkins, Yakupov and McDavid gift wrapped to them, run two out of town, turn RNH into who we know today as "The Tenderness" and continue to be inherently bad (outside of superhuman performances from McDavid). And of course Draisaitl (3rd), Puljujarvi (4th), and Nurse (7th), as if the former picks weren't enough to put together a semblance of a competent core.
