So why do people in Edmonton even like this guy? It's clear this is nonsense.
Lucic is under contract until 2023, so he's absolutely going to be there for the draft. Implying that your GM will have things taken care of is pretty stupid at this point - as it's much harder to imagine someone else taking Lucic than it is someone taking him off their hands. He's produced absolutely nothing for long enough. Nobody wants him.
Then he just slaps a bunch of kids' names up there to throw more heat on any prospect that has the misfortune of ending up here. So toss Lucic, and throw even more question marks on the pile. That they'll be TRANSFORMED by youth, with Bouchard, Benson, Hebig (Heisn't), McLeod, Maksimov, Jones, Gambardella, Perssonm Starret isn't something I'd tolerate too well as a fan.
A few of those look like good prospects coming down the pipe, but who the hell are Perssonm Starret and Gambardella?
I don't doubt that the Oilers intend on having every single one of them on the NHL roster by the time the draft rolls around... so I guess they'll have transformed from one crap team into yet another...
It would be funny to keep track of every time Edmonton media shouts out their next saviours and how that worked out for them.
