I agree, going into the season Craig MacTavish told the media he didn't think another 18 year old kid was what the Oilers needed...
A few months later Edmonton is last in the West and he's gushing about Ekblad.
I'm guessing he didn't like the ballpark of offers made for the 1st and spoke the later comments as a bluff. He almost can't afford for that pick to not turn into an immediate impact.
