Since the Edmonton Oilers do not have any picks in this years draft. We thought we would give a little mock draft to view. A little reading material if you will….. Please note since I have no picks, my scouting is not draft ready, too much work if you have no picks.. but just 4 fun we can wing it for ya……. I even included one trade for your pleasure.

Great mock. However, Sidney is going #1 and Protto will take Brule with the number 2. I hope I am not drafting a tender at number 6.

[Rink Rat]

If you do not want the tender ....... i am sure the Avs will trade up for him .......Oh .....did I say that out loud?
Have fun!

Skidney is #1 isn't he?

[JiriHrdina]

Interesting stuff dude. Thanks for doing this. I can't see Johnson droppoing all the way down that far. Frankly I have him as #2 on my board though I recognize he won't go there. If he's there at #5 i think he's a fantastic pick for Dallas. Franchise blueliner.

[Radically Red]

Nice work

What was the Trade? Just curious... Since you mentioned one was thrown in.

[SpongeJamie NoPants]

We here in St. Louis are not prepared to confirm that Mr. Sidney Crosby (size 52 jersey, Crosby - kinda rhymes with Missouri, already looks good in Blue...oops, I mean blue) will be our first selection at this year's draft.

However, we do feel that whoever is fortunate enough to select Mr. Sidney Crosby in the draft will likely be the eventual "winner" when all is said and done. There is much to be said about the other players in the first round as well...and with our total of four 1st round picks this year, we are reviewing scouting reports on a daily basis.

One question...why does our 15th overall pick appear to be shared with the Jets in this mock?

Johnson has fallen a lot since the early rankings were out. He ha dropped below #10 if I am not mistaken...behind Staal.

[Rink Rat]

pick number 15 ......... the jets move up to grab (D) Parant ........ had to throw one in for fun....... i could see St. Loius moving being their third pick and I could see the jets trying to get it

[SpongeJamie NoPants]

Pssst...Hey...Jets...call me....I've got a great deal for you on the 15th overall...... :innocent:

In what rankings? In any rankings I've reviewed he's still top 5.

The last central scouting rankings that I seen had him at number 5. He could go anywhere from #2 to #10 imo.

[Prototype]

Although it was reported that the Nordique were already sell Brule jerseys in their stores, they have since pulled the jerseys off the shelves.

Does this mean Brule isn't going #2? Have the Nordiques traded the #2 overall? Tune in at the CPHL Entry Draft, only on ESPN2.

[looooob]

good job

however the Sabres are pleased to announce they will not be drafting Istomin and Karpov with their picks

[flambers]

Good Job, Rangers have the 4th spot and are excited about the draft.

[Rink Rat]

Ya ....looooooob.... i guess it would be pretty lucky to get the two top russian league prospects in the same draft.......... but you never know ............ not what you meant right, but not a bad alternative?

well they may be the 2 highest Russians (didn't know that) but its not a good year for them??

anyways there were a few tantalizing names at both of my spots I would have taken before them...i think

[Mango]

Thanks for putting this up. At this time, the Vancouver Canucks have a player in mind if they decide to keep the 3rd overall pick. Mums the word
