Oilers With the Benefit of Hindsight

I mean anyone could have gotten Kucherov. such a steal. And russell plays well enough IMO just not worth 4mil. I'd still be ok with him for 2ish mil on the third pairing.

In 2010 that’s just management jumping on the #3 ranked Euro with talents like Hedman and OEL at #1 and #2, I can admit it sucks now, Ellis made OHL records for a Dman, but at the time undersized Dmen were risks and it paid off for NSH

2011 anyone could’ve gotten Kucherov, he was in the 2nd round, instead you should’ve created David Musil (guy we picked) and traded for Kucherov

In 2012 If Rielly wasn’t injured he could’ve pushed for 1st Overall. Forsberg was the number 1 ranked Euro so he could’ve pushed too.

For 2013, I admit I wanted Ristolainen more than Nurse at the time, we need RD, but we’re gonna have to be deal with what we got; a fringe 1st pair LHD and not a #1 RHD

2015, “the trade” Hart trophy winner for 2nd pair/fringe 1st pair D, Nuff said

For 2016 if it wasn’t Puljujarvi, their guy was Sergachev or Tkachuk, no way they touch McAvoy unless they did that rumored trade with Montreal

I feel like VP would be a good 3rd line C, better than Spooner and would fit with Pulju.

Don’t forget Barzal/Chabot/Connor/Boeser and Aho/Carlo/Beauvillier for Griffin Reinhart our Norris trophy winner
