There is a double irony in this statement. First, because that is exactly what you Oiler fans and your GMs have done over the last half decade. It is what you are doing this season as well.
Second, because you simply aren't going to succeed without players outperforming contracts. ELCs are the easiest to outperform - especially when you are picking first overall nearly every year.
Which brings us back to everyone else's point. If Klefbom is not a legitimate top four D starting next year, he will be underperforming his contract.
