Outside of McDavid the Oilers didn't draft to be honest. They tried to get players to play today. Mistake in my mind. Yet the Oilers love to rush prospects and destroy them. I see McDavid getting 80 points this year, and being a minus 20.
I'm giddy, the Flames have a top four d pairing that is awesome and you can switch names on who the top four are. The Oilers have 6 dmen, all at this point should be on the bottom pairing. Hard pressed to find a second line dman in that group. I do like Nurse though!

Actually I think the oil did right in getting Reinhart, obviously after failing on Hamilton.
The problem for the oil is that their D will not develop in time to support their forwards before they are gone from the team.
The Flames were in danger of this too. In 2-3 years, the Flames may have had a declining Gio, a prime Brodie, an apex, or past Russell, no Wideman. Probably a struggling Wotherspoon. On the 2nd pair. At the same time, the Flames forwards would have been hitting their prime.
The oilers missed the boat not being able to get Hamilton. They did the next best thing to get Reinhart.
They best put together a package for seabrook now!
