The Oilers like any player who plays for the Oil Kings. Pretty sure their draft "strategy" is to use THN's magazine for the 1st overall, then check the Oil Kings roster for any eligible players after that.
If only they had more "tier 1" paying STH fans they could afford to employ scouts in other places. Mike Comrie not paying back his bonus set them back financially for a long time.
