Could get far uglier in the next year or 2, with far more interesting pieces from the prospect pool hitting the "2nd year pro" threshold...

That is why I was hoping for two this year. I would rather lose two players from the currently eligibility list right now than one now and another in a couple years.
Will also be interesting if they get the same guaranteed top 5 pick for their first few years. It is going to make the draft lottery stressful for the Oilers and other bottom teams.
