Well soon anyways.

I see they have the 1st. overall again. Going to build some kind of great young team if it pans out. I imagine they will select Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

Hopkins is kickin so a$$ for our RED DEER REBELS this year and would be a good pick.

This will be fun..draft Nugent ...then trade hemsky while his value is high...10 draft picks this year 2 in 1st round should build a huge stable of young talent.
Still a few years from being really good but a nice future in a new arena

They just have to get that New arena built or lose the team. But the future does look very promising, They will have an exciting team to watch over the next 5 years or so.

the Oilers don't need Hopkins, they need a really solid D man or a number one center. And then they need someone with experiance and drive like Ryan Smyth to lead all the young guys and show them how to play. We already have a ton of good forwards, don't really need another

They need a #1 center and Nugent-Hopkins is the guy.They have a #1 D-man in Ryan Whitney. Typically, defencemen take longer to develop that forwards. Yes, Adam Larssen is a great young d-man but may not fit in right away. Should be interesting to see what happens.
