not quite... 7 top 6 picks in 7 years, is pretty much the worst i've seen... Pittsburgh had 5 years of top 6 picks, but only 2 #1s and 2 #2s in grouping...
the islanders only had 4 years with top 6 picks, and only Tavares was number 1. Ditto with Chicago.
Oilers are the team that has taken advantage of the NHL Welfare system the most...
with that kind of support, that franchise HAD to get better, regardless of how bad they are....
Hearing their fans crowing over this run of mediocrity is what irks me the most.
