I wrote an article ten years ago for the Forecaster that looked at central scouting rankings and where the player went.

Two things jumped out.

Players that slide slide for a reason, and the team taking them usually regrets it.

And ... the Oilers were the team that took the sliding guy more often than not in that time range.

So grabbing that guy that falls may not be the best idea, or ... no matter who the Oilers take they don't pan out!
