It takes a special kind of bad to do that.
Even with the odds the way they were then, the chances of the Oilers picking first all 3 years, after finishing 30th, 30th and 29th was only 4%

Yes, it was a 1 in 25 longshot for them to win all 3 lotteries.

The chances now are extremely low (under 1%). And with the switch next year to having a draw for the 1st 2 picks, it will be astronomical.
