Too many hot dogs, not enough buns.

Oilers management just loves being the centre of attention, and there's nothing flashier in the summer than the no. 1 overall pick.
Honestly, not even sure if the Oilers had picked Galchenyuk or Murrary if it would have helped. They just don't seem to have any sense of team play in the defensive end. They don't compete in the defensive end. Actually, many Flames fans on this site should love the Oilers.
