They had top 10 picks in 2018 (Bouchard at 10th overall) and 2019 (Broberg at 8th overall), too. Model franchise. Not that the Jets would fair much better but imagine if the NHL operated like European football. The Oilers would have had to claw there way out of being relegated to a senior men's hockey league. Okay enough about the Oilers, Leafs suck.

kelownabomberfan Posted April 18, 2023 Report Posted April 18, 2023 https://thehockeywriters.com/10-biggest-oilers-draft-busts-since-2000/ I still remember there were posters here who thought that we should take Poolparty over Laine. LOL Quote Yakupov is hands down not only the Oilers biggest draft bust but the one of the most notorious first overall bust in NHL history. He’s right up there with Alexandre Daigle and Patrik Stefan. Yakupov was pegged to be a perennial 40-goal scorer when he was drafted. Scouts loved his scoring prowess and ability to do things at high speed. This looked like a runaway pick for the Oilers. At the time they had Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, and now a pure sniper in Yakupov. All the building blocks were supposed to be there. Yakupov had an impressive rookie season scoring 17 goals and 31 points in 48 games. He finished fifth in Calder Trophy voting and had 11 first-place votes on the ballot. JCon 1

HardCoreBlue Posted April 19, 2023 Report Posted April 19, 2023 That was a blissful second period to watch TB versus the Leafs. No matter this post season, I’ll have this period to remember. IC Khari 1

HardCoreBlue Posted April 19, 2023 Report Posted April 19, 2023 I'm still so pissed and frustrated that Hartman got one lousy meaningless game suspension scores an OT winner against Dallas while Ehlers watches from the sidelines. Ref called it interference, Wild called it retribution, Bieska called it sneaky dirty, I call it intent to injure that should come with a lot more consequence. I would be saying the exact same thing if a Jet did something like this. Brutal. rebusrankin, blue_gold_84 and JCon 3
