<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Would any one care to guess how many 7th or 8th OA picks produced 40 or more pts in the NHL the year after they were drafted in the past 10 years? ONE, Jeff Skinner. But there have also been total busts from those two picks Glennie, Burmistrov, Pouliot, Fleury, Nylander, I stopped at 2016 it is too early to determine their performance. So from 2009 to 2016 18 players picked 5 were busts 28%, I guess, let's make the run at it now adding 3 top 6 wingers.
BTW the 2011 draft was pretty awesome.


Opps, you are correct. The 8th OA nearly always steps right into the NHL and starts producing 50 to 60 pts per year (Miller 47, 58, 56 pts his last 3 years, Gourde 48, 64 in his only NHL years, Palat 34, 45, 52 his last 3 years) and a late first coming back. Now why would Edmonton which needs wingers ever dream of getting 3 of them for only giving up the 8th OA?

That can be handled in many fashions. Retain some of Sekera, trade Gagner, add a pick to move Russel, OMW that is $9,000,000 space that just opened up.

So $90,000,000 move out the 3 players I just mentioned, and poof, they are under the cap and have the wingers to add secondary scoring.

You may be correct that the Sabres would not do this, but check out the Sabres with those 3 forwards on their team right now. In a sense they are in a win now mode with Reinhart on a low contract and Dahlin on an ELC. Gourde, Miller and Palat as the second line. Sheary, Mittelstadt and Rodrigues on the third, Girgensons, Larsson and Okposo on the fourth. I am not sure if the Sabres could make space as easily as the Oilers could.</div></div>

I just wanted to quote this long ass quote
