BPA just makes sense. You end up with a glut of centres? Teams ALWAYS need a centre and you can trade for your needs. Pretty hard to try and pick positions for what you'll need 5 years down the road because circumstances always change.

Yeah, I can see where you are coming from. The oilers are such an easy target because they are so awful. But I'm sure there are other examples.
I propose a new Godwin's Law wherein as an online discussion on CP grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving how not good the oilers are at the game of hockey approaches 1. sun's law.
A corollary would be as an online discussion on CP grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Sidney Crosby approaches 1. sun's law 2.
