I hope for two more top 5 picks to fill in some holes and then try to make the playoffs.

I think the oiler have acquired the talent that is hardest to get - which is first line forward talent. So yeah they have that major piece in place, like you said until the defence and goalie position get sorted out they will have trouble coming out of the bottom of the standing.

it's not a matter of collecting more top 5 picks for the oilers. They need to start getting some players out of other rounds in the draft. Can only draft in the bottom of the league for so long before the top players on the team get sick of losing.
