I didn't say Yamamoto was a top draft pick. You did, and then decided to attribute those words to me and argue against it.
I said Calgary has done the same with their top draft picks as Edmonton has. Calgary received three picks 6th or higher and all those picks played in the NHL their first season.
It's the same with the Oilers. The lowest pick they kept in the NHL was Gagner. Nurse at 7th went back. Anyone lower than that went back. If the Oilers keep Yamamoto up it would be an exception.
So when it comes to picks 6th and higher, both organizations have plotted roughly the same course.
