Draft Recap

The Oilers had a bevy of picks in this years draft, ten in total, and they kept them all. It was not shocker that the Oilers went with consensus number one, Taylor Hall. The skillful left winger will likely play top 6 minutes in the NHL right away. Edmonton appears to have addressed their weaknesses well, drafting four defenseman, including big Reid McNeill, and the skilled two-way defenseman Mark Pysyk. The team drafted two center icemen, in Cody Lindsay and J�r�me Raymond, both are low risk-high reward players, though their small statures may prevent them from ever cracking an NHL line-up, they do have high upside.

Edmonton will still need to address their blue line through free agency or the trade market, as they departed with two quality defenseman on draft day. Tom Gilbert was sent packing to Tampa Bay, this move garnered a first round draft choice for next years draft. Problematic Sheldon Souray was also finally sent packing, he departed to St. Louis, and will see young D-man Alex Pietrangelo and tough guy Ryan Reaves come to Edmonton in return. Many fans are ecstatic to get such a return for Souray, his troubles in Edmonton had been well documented and his value had assumedly plummeted. Edmonton brass are very high on Pietrangelo and hope he can step into a leading role in the next couple of seasons in Edmonton; he brings franchise player potential to the team.
