It's not how good feeder systems are maintained... and that's the point, the Oilers don't have a good feeder system because all they get out of the draft is the guy the drafted #1 in the previous draft. Most teams actually find talent in round 2-7 occasionally, which is important because they don't have a top 5 pick every year to bank on like the Oilers do.

I don't dispute that, but that's a different topic. We are looking at specific pools here not drafting history.
Edmonton hasn't drafted well in forever.
