The Oilers are loaded with young talent who will get better each year. But I think they need some veterans to help bring the young guys along. I think if the right player is offered, the Oilers should trade their #1 pick for a veteran defenceman or forward.

Wonder if the NHL would ever consider getting rid of the lottery, and just have all none playoff teams play in a RBC type tournament for the first overall pick? Could be a nice cash grab, esp if they play the games in a non NHL city like PEI or something?
