One Month to the Draft...




This is our fearless, fitness-freak coach Dallas Eakins. He is being interviewed by the play-by-play man Mr. Jack Michaels. As you can tell, he is having a hard time holding his disdain in check for this man's physical appearance.

If only hockey games were won by the best hair, best VO2 max test, most chest shown etc....

The Oilers are 4 weeks away from another top 10 selection in the NHL draft. A recap of the previous few years:

2013:  Darnell Nurse (7th overall)
2012:  Nail Yakupov  (1st overall)
2011:  Ryan Nugent Hopkins (1st overall)
2010:  Taylor Hall (1st overall).
2009:  Magnus Paajarvi (10th overall)-> with a 2nd round pick =  David Perron

Despite three first overall selections, the Oilers still find themselves in the top 3 selection in this year's draft. Over the next few days, I will be profiling the top tier talent for the 2014 draft. In no particular order these players are:

Aaron Eklblad
Sam Bennett
Sam Reinhart
Leon Draisaitl

Happy reading Oiler fans!
