It's funny with so many high picks how they've failed to find what I consider the key components of a cup contender.
Top pairing defensemen, preferably with size (they might actually have one in Nurse if they don't screw up his development, I actually didn't mind that pick). Haven't seen him at all this year so I don't know how his development has gone
Top two line centres with size
Big, strong powerforwards with skill
Franchise goalie
I've always though you can trade for goalscorers more easily than any of the above types of players or find them later in the first round. They wasted a lot of their 1st rounders grabbing the same type of player.

So, are the Oilers the poster boys for taking skill wise the BPA and not taking into considerations their needs?
