Except the fact they only have one prospect grouped with their own players like he's Oiler property. You would think they would put an asterisk next to the name or change the font color but nope he's grouped in like he's an Oiler. To an uneducated fan it would appear Draisaitl is an Oiler and that's probably the goal.
This is the kind of stuff the Oilers do as they know full well the peak of their year is between June and September when the stink of last season is somewhat smothered by the excitement of the draft and optimism that surrounds the offseason. It's borderline manipulation as they are purposely hyping up Draisaitl in hopes the fans binge on more Kool-Aid if he's drafted by them which certainly looks very probable.
