I love the fact that Kevin Lowe is still there after all the mess he helped he create, it's unbelievable, really.

The other problem is that they should have a bunch of guys coming in from other picks as well...
The ONLY player on their whole team who was an Oiler pick, non-first round, is Jeff Petry... 2nd round.
That is sheer incompetence.
(Flames and Canucks have 3 of their own selections outside of 1st rounders on the squad right now as an example)
