Turns out Nurse was best available at the #5 slot
A year latter there was the argument between the 2 Sam's and it was pretty solid that the Flames were lucky Bennet slipped through to #4. Now they are both Panthers. Turns out Drasiatl was the guy to pick a #2 instead of Sam R.
Point #2 Who will have a better 2021-22 Backlund @ 5.35 or Bennett @ 4.425?

Instant Classic. Has all the hallmarks: random unrealted knee shot at Backlund, random tangential musings on loose ties, and vague notions of oilers fandom.
