In case, you did not get off the course in time to watch, you did not miss much.  I found the format anticlimactic and dry.  I was expecting to see some spinning, tumbling lottery balls getting spit out of the machine.

This is getting ridiculous with the Oilers winning the lottery 4 times in the past 6 years, and still be a perennial cellar-dweller:

2010 1st pick - Taylor Hall

2011 1st pick - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

2012 1st pick - Nail Yakupov

2013 7th pick - Darnell Nurse

2014 3rd pick - Leon Draisaitl

2015 1st pick - Conner McDavid  (predicted pick, and very likely)

It's Connor, and yeah, the format was terrible.

The Edmonton Oilers are also in a legal battle with the owner of the Erie Otters. Connor loves (not romantically, duh) the owner of the Otters. That will be interesting…

You have your facts wrong: http://www2.tsn.ca/draftcentre/feature/?id=18342

The Edmonton Oilers have their 4th 1st overall pick in the past 6 years, but they did not win the lottery 4 times. They won it 3 times :smartass: . Up until 2013, the lottery winner could only move up 4 spots, so Edmonton retained the 1st overall pick in 2011 when NJ won the lottery.

But yea, they're a poorly managed team and horrible at developing young talent. I feel bad for the kid.
