The Oilers pick is Top 12 protected; as of today they would draft 11th, so the pick would slide to 2026…. like last season, they’re likely to improve once McDavid does McDavid things.
Colorado’s pick is Top 10 protected; as of today they would draft 7th, also sliding this pick to 2026. Their top six is absolutely decimated, leaving them with a less-than-impressive roster. As long as MacKinnon and Makar remain healthy though you can’t count them out… I’d imagine they would improve as well.
Both teams will recover. Be prepared for both draft picks to be late first rounders.
Drafting 1, 11, 13 would be amazing
A bit out of the loop but how does this years class look?
Ya’ll are wasting way too much time and energy looking at these picks this early in the season
The chance either misses the playoffs is very low. EDM was nearly last in NHL after 15 games last year and nearly won cup …
Cant be looking at their records right now in 2024. If either are still on bubble around deadline then yeah we start looking at updates but its pointless now.
