Yeah, this is the biggest kicker. And how mind-blowimg is it that the year the draft was fixed (2015) to prevent the incompetent loser team (the Oilers) abusing the system actually resulted in that team drafting the most coveted player since Sidney Crosby. Without even trying to tank for him, the Oilers were actually bad enough and somehow lucky enough to acquire the most difficult of assets to acquire.
The luck factor is extremely powerful and crucial to winning. Even with all of it working in their favour the Oilers are STILL a hilariously average team.
