No, to the contrary it's a common practice around good teams in the league. The Oilers never do this because nobody wants any of the garbage they draft. Draft picks are assets that are renewed annually, and if you utilize them well, they can be used to fill out your roster in various ways. If you're the Oilers, you use them to give a player false hope of an NHL career.
