I just realized if the Oilers lost on Ryan Smyths final game then they would of picked number one overall

f*** man. Florida got the number one pick they should of gotten last year. Meh oh well. As long Ekblad is still available if not trade the pick!!!! On Draft Day: *Ekblad's still available* *MacTavish trades pick for more forwards* Well if it's a big giant forward I won't be mad. If it's another midget skilled forward id be pissed

Panthers get the #1 draft pick, so Buffalo gets nothing for their historically wretched season.
Carolina's #7.

Just let the worst get the worst pick and let it be. If a team wants to tank put all its hopes and prays on a kid that may be Super Mario maybe Subpar Daigle but also alienate their fanbase by losing and creating a culture of losing so be it. Not like teams don't do that without tanking

Didn't spend the money to keep being a contender so they floated in a nebulous area where they were good but needed a bump and it was picked apart piece by piece due to money. Also when they did have the money they spent it badly at the wrong time.

But that was also because Jim a ill the guy oilers should of gotten as GM blowing up the whole team with blockbuster trades, and good veteran signings

They basically went from speed and skill to too much grit. In other words, they overreacted to the Milan Lucic-Ryan Miller incident. They literally fell into the trap that toughness > finesse

They literally fell into the trap that toughness > finesse The oilers did the exact opposite after the success of Hemsky. Focused on too much skill to be Hemskys linemate and stopped being a gritty team. Instead they are the softest smallest team in the league

Yeah, the Sabres seemed like they cared more about gooning it up than trying to win games.
Though watching NYI's Justin Johnson knock John Scott on his ass was pretty amazing.

Can't believe nobody else made a GIF of this classic scene.
