The only black eye was the oilers receiving two too many first overall picks.
Should've been out of the running for the last two because of their recent consecutive wins at the time.
Which means they wind up with Hall and Nuge, and probably still Draisaitl. But different players in the Yakupov, McDavid drafts.
NHL most certainly ####ed up there, hence the "Oilers rule" later established.
