I think the Oilers would have offered the picks to the Islanders unprotected for Hamonic. They thought they were contenders. Islanders would have preferred Calgary picks cause everyone thought the Oilers were the second coming of Christ last summer. Just a guess.

It's not like BT didn't want to lottery protect the pick...they obviously said no and were likely considering other offers. BT took a risk to get the deal done...didn't pan out this season but Calgary still controls the asset.
