TBH Oilers aren't the team anybody should be replicating anyways.
Having the best player in the World by winning a lottery isn't a repeatable path to victory. Especially since said team has never been a great regular season team or even won their division.
4 First overall picks, and 11 top ten picks and banking on getting the best player in the world is a foolish plan.
Replicate Chicago and Tampa Bay. Teams that built well throughout all rounds of the draft, and then sucked for 1-2 seasons to get their Kane/Toews Hedman/Stamkos.
