#yawn. We've all heard this same old song and dance for the last decade +.
It's clear that drafting #1 or top 5 multiple time over and over and over and over again doesn't win you titles, you actually have to know how to build a team. Something no Oilers GM has done since '06. Even then they still lost.
Let the Oilers plunder all the #1's, it's isn't helping them, and every other team seems to do just fine building with all the #2's and 3's and 4's etc etc.

I'm not worried about the Oilers becoming good. I just hate seeing good talent wasting away in that dumpster fire.
