Even if they keep the pick and get Ekblad, how long before he can actually make a real difference ( I don't mean just making the team). 3 years if they are lucky? Even Lowe can't survive 3 more years of suck (prove me wrong, Kev!).
The Oilers need help now. That pick could be a pretty great asset to make that happen...and it doesn't break up their precious core that they are so hesitant to move.
