Apparently Tkachuk was never on the Oilers or Canucks radar according to Friedman. If Puljuju-shubado wasn’t there the Oilers would have selected Sergachev, and when Dubois dropped, the Canucks would have traded their pick to the Canadians for PK Subban.
This is kind of like how the Oilers defence of trading the Barzal pick was leaking to morons like Staples how they wouldn’t have selected him with that pick anyways.
Remember those 5 days between June 25-29 2016 when the Oilers has a new high pick & Taylor Hall... then farted both away with terrible asset management.
