Ballisticsports. Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) So I am watching the Oilers play right now and decide to google who the Oilers could have drafted instead of RNH and other 1st picks and then i look to see who we were drafting with being one of the best in the league drafting at the bottom of each round and so many underwhelming players even drafted before us, is it any wonder why we weren't drafting well in those drafts. The flipside is we were winning and almost won a cup. It was such a fun time being a Canuck fan, but would anyone here have blown up the team in 2008 with a chance to draft in top 10 till 2013 ? We never had a 1st overall but we always were lucky with late round picks, trades and unsigned players. We are in our longest drought ever being at the bottom, but am looking forward to what is ahead 2008 1 Patrick Kane (RW) United States Chicago Blackhawks London Knights (OHL) 2 James van Riemsdyk (LW)
