I, for one, completely agree with this sentiment. The top 2 ranked players are touted to be generational forwards, and the third is a blue chip defenseman.
I do not want one of those players suiting up for an Oilers organization that has shed itself of Lowe and MacTavish. The best chance for the Oilers to extend their misery is to end up in the 6th to 9th overall limbo region - not good enough for a sniff at the playoffs, not bad enough to draft a difference maker.
We've been there. It was called the 90s, the Young Guns era, and it was truly terrible.
