Either that or somehow move up a spot to get Ekblad. If Ekblad is gone I don't understand why they'd keep the pick.

I think Craig Buttons theory about trading the pick to the Islandes for Griffen Rienhart holds some water.
Islanders give their pick to Buffalo and still get a third overall this year.
Oilers get much needed help on the blue line with1 year development.
That is all contingent on Oil not getting a Ekblad which I could see them selling the farm to move up to get as well.
