2 1st OAs have netted the Oilers: Larsson, a throw in, and a 2017 3rd that might become a 2018 2nd

It's not as though most of the rest of the teams in the league wouldn't have taken him 1st or 2nd overall. This falls on Edmonton's appallingly bad player development.

Now I can finally start thinking about getting a Yak jersey though.
ok, we get it, you're disappointed.

It should have been Zach Morris from 'Saved by the Bell' to fit in with the #OilersBoyBand.

Should it be a conditional 2nd round pick, as that is what the conditions apply to, the 3rd is a given?

Edmonton might not trade with us, but I'm sure Treliving could offer an immediate upgrade on the pick/prospect St. Louis just gave up.

Mark Spector @SportsnetSpec
Yakupov for a 3rd is market value. EDM had him dealt to NJD for Eric Gelinas last year, but Devils took a 3rd elsewhere instead.

A big factor you're missing is they should have been worrying about their blue-line at that time. Whether it be via trade or trade down.

It was a horrible pick for them under and circumstances, and one mistake in a long line of many in (poorly) building that awful team.

Zach who. Is he a pizza delivery guy. 3rd round pick is more than I think Yakupov is worth. I was more concerned the Oilers were going to land a solid 3rd pairing D from a team cap strapped, Nope Zach Pochiro.

How ridiculous is it that you can say the Oilers have traded 2 first overall picks, but still have half of their first overall picks remaining them remaining.

I don't entirely agree. He was not a unanimous number 1. Leafs had Reily first, Flames had Galch, the Oil themselves had Murray until their owner overrided the choice.
Don't let them off the hook. It was an epically bad choice. And it was then.
