Honestly? I think they would have probably traded/let Nurse walk

BTW you should trade away Bouchard. You wouldn't have gotten him, so I take my original point back

I think more about what if they won in 2016 they had the 2nd best odds

Yeah, they got a pretty good player in 2018 despite picking 10th.

If anyone needed more luck in the draft last decade, it'd be the Oilers. No doubt.

Because the other 4 1rst OA picks didn't suffice

So I did originally, but then realized that Dahlin plays on the left side so it made me forget that I was supposed to get rid of Bouchard.

Yeah but it was also absurd how often they won the draft lottery last decade too!

This thought just came to me because I was watching a video saying how the lottery would be so rigged if the Oilers won again in 2018.

I know... But I can say the same thing for the Leafs in 2020 and 2015 and 2014 and 2010 and 2012 and 2011 and 2009 and and and
