Yeah, the Oilers had so many misses that if they brought in a decent GM instead of Chiapet, they probably would have won a cup by now. Everyone talks about the swings and misses at the top of the draft, but they have had numerous years of multiple 1st rounders and high picks outside the 1st. They should have established themselves with a hell of a prospect pool to compliment McDavid and Draisaitl.
Looking back at HockeyDB in the years they drafted Draisaitl and McDavid they didn't have any 2nd and 3rd round picks those years. That is a team with no plan, they are just badly run and saved by the lottery ball.
