Keep in mind Colorado turned down three first round picks for Mackinnon last year.
The Oilers don't have the picks to match that offer. After their first rounder, the Oilers don't have another pick until Buffalo's fourth rounder. They have traded away their own second, third, fourth, and fifth round picks for this year's draft.

Right now, the Flames have 5 picks in the first 3 rounds. The Oilers have one.
