I think I read that it’s conditional

It's conditional in that it can become a 5th rounder if he plays in 50 games this season. At the very least, it's a sixth rounder.

Ah thanks. Not bad for the Oilers considering I don’t even think this guy is any good

Odds they miss on that draft pick are still 100% though

Meh, they've traded a guy who couldn't get a spot on a team with crap defense. That's on the player, not the Oilers.

And yet a team with a vastly deeper defense paid an asset for that player.

I think a lot of people have very justifiable grounds for doubting the abilities of the Oilers' decision making skills.

How'd they pull this off? They released Jerabek yesterday.
