So Taylor Hall was the lottery charm not Kevin Lowe?

Edit: beaten by, like, everyone.

The teams who got screwed have nobody to thank but the Oilers. They get 4 1st overall picks before the league finally decide to change the format and rules of the draft.

They also screwed other teams over with ridiculous offer sheets and stupid signings that only the New York Rangers could replicate.

Taylor Hall is a draft lottery winning machine. How many times has he led a team to a #1 pick now? 6 or 7 times?

One year too late for the team with the 5th-best odds to win it.

The Oilers dropped from 2 to 4 last year, which is why he had to be traded.

I'm glad Phoenix, Colorado, and Vancouver all dropped as far as possible. Tanking should never be rewarded. This is how the draft should be.

The difference being....

in the NBA: the chance for a team with the 13th pick to win the 2nd pick is 0.8%

in the NHL: it's 2.4% .....


this is just a really bad look for the NHL.
