Dude, you have said before they will be the rise of a dynasty...maybe now you'll finally be right...for once...

I'm really happy for Edmonton. They've won 4 Stanley Cups, or is it 5? We have None, and we've been in the league longer and we've never tanked. If there is a team that deserves McDavid its VancouverArachnid wrote:RoyalDude wrote:What a fucking joke, rewarding incompetence with McDavid. 4th first overall pick in last 6 drafts, the other two were a 3rd and a 7th.

McJesus gonna save that deadbeat town! (now fire the GM!
Is it possible they can screw this up?RoyalDude wrote:Throw in Nurse, McDavid, Draisaitl and Pittsburghs 1st overall, I wonder if the Oilers 4th rebuild in a row is over yet
Yes.The kid did not look thrilled at all and it is really possible there may be another Lindros situation here. I sure hope so. To see those jerks get the most talented player in years really hurts. They have got to get D and a goalie so if Mactavish is smart he may parlay this luck into some real talent on the back end. They have the cap room. The only question is does he want to be known as the man who traded McDavid, so I think not. They will just score a couple more a game and continue to lead the NHL in goals given up and back-end ineptitude.rats19 wrote:Is it possible they can screw this up?RoyalDude wrote:Throw in Nurse, McDavid, Draisaitl and Pittsburghs 1st overall, I wonder if the Oilers 4th rebuild in a row is over yet

They have Hall, RNH, Eberle, Yakapov, Daraisatl at forward and the Pens 1st pick which is in mid teens to trade for help on D or in goal, they also have Nurse coming on defencedamonberryman wrote:Yes.The kid did not look thrilled at all and it is really possible there may be another Lindros situation here.

I call upon all the hockey spirits to make them trade him. They do not deserve him. He is the real deal, but without back-up talent he could end up like Crosby, the man he mostly compared to, and struggle to make the playoffs.
They could trade with Buffalo and take the Big D. Get Kanedamonberryman wrote:Yes.The kid did not look thrilled at all and it is really possible there may be another Lindros situation here.

or take their goalie.I agree, they deserve their 4th first overall in last 6 drafts, they deserve the next superstar to help them win more Cups. It's been far too long since the Cups Gretzky and Messiet won themukcanuck wrote:I guess if Pittsburgh can have Lemieux and Crosby in the same lifetime I guess it's only fair Edmonton should get Gretzky and Mcdavid...
Hopefully the cap, free agency and Kevin Lowe will conspire against any real success
