WCQR: (5) Edmonton Oilers vs. (12) Chicago Blackhawks | Blackhawks win series 3-1

You really have to wonder if Chiarelli was actually a double agent for some other team because this loss really puts into perspective how badly his trades and signings screwed the Oilers.

If Oilers get Lefreniere itd basically be like if the Penguins somehow got Ovechkin with Crosby and Malkin. 2 headed monsters are scary enough to face. Imagine a trio

 

PLEASE HOCKEY GODS THEY DONT DESERVE IT!!!

Top 3 superstars, supporting cast will be abysmal!
And Oilers still suck!

You think we can out luck the Oilers? The Devils aren't in the Lefreniere sweepstakes so now were due to have a powerhouse in our division next year

Laffy isnt gonna come in make them a powerhouse in his first year. He's not a Mcdavid or Mathews. He's  a tier below. 

 

He'll be a good addition to 2nd or 3rd line. Give them more depth and offense deeper into lineup. 

 

I think Puljijarvi will make more of an impact than Laffy would in his rookie year. . He's a more mature and developed player. Led the best team in Finland in scoring and is developing an all around game.

I can respect that opinion. Offensively though McDavid hands down the best in the league. I dont watch many Oilers games to judge his defence but his offensive highlights speak for themselves

Absolutely, offensively speaking, blue line in, McD is exciting as hell.

I’m not going to be able to sleep until we know which team picks first overall on Monday. The thought of the Oilers, and to a lesser extent, the Penguins choosing first overall makes me ill.

I hope we get first overall

Laf-Peterson-Miller 

That line would be awesome!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that Florida wins the Laffy sweepstakes....think about it, an American team that is struggling financially that needs a good shot in the arm.

Sorry to tell you dude. We have traded that pick and it has bounced around and is now in New Jerseys pocket.

Florida, Nashville, Jets. Just please, please don't let Coilers or the Laffs, if they lose out, get it. Got a feeling Rangers win it. They just seem to have some mojo going there way.

Found this on Reddit. Poor Connor McDavid:

I don't know whether feel bad for Oilers fans or laugh at them. Definitely gotta feel for McDavid though.

Well, any adult that gets emotionally invested in a sports team I immediately “feel bad” for them. But in a much different way.

I feel happy for him, his future wife and kids, and his forever family. They don’t have to worry about financial security ever again.

Like the rest of us schleps that have to worry about bills, jobs, mortgages, health care etc.

Odds of Nucks Vs Hawks in the second Rd?

All top 4 teams have to be knocked out for it to happen. It is 2020, so you just never know.

their fans were against us in 2011, you should definitely laugh at them.

But they also have to live in an absolute hellhole of a city, which does make me kind of pity them.  I wouldn't wish living in that dump on my worst enemy.
