As has been mentioned before, I have no doubt that Bettman forces a serious look at the drafting process after this year. Especially if Edmonton doesn't make a major move to get better then hypes their number one pick to their fans.
That organization is making a mockery out the league and the draft. There really should be either a relegation clause or the NHL is allowed to seize management that continues to suck and rip off fans year after year.
If I was an Oiler fan I would be out of my mind furious if I was paying to watch that team play. Just like if the Flames aren't showing some pretty big steps forward in three years I'm going to start taking a serious look at what they doing.
