    • Why and how the Oilers got here (7:00)

                  On this episode, we talk about Corey Pronman's articles about how he would re-draft the 2017 and 2018 seasons. The articles have been linked here if you want to follow along (it is the Athletic so it might be behind a paywall), but we talk about his rankings out loud as well.

                  Topics discussed.

                  2017 Re-Draft (2:00):

                  • Is Petersson a top tier/elite centreman?
                  • Makar is the best from the draft
                  • Why are Necas and Hischier ranked lower than Nick Suzuki?
                  • Tie was right about Drake Batherson
                  • Is Casey Mittelstadt a top 15 pick?
                  • Connor Timmins, Robert Frost, Nolan Patrick, Kailer Yamamoto, Mario Ferraro, Ryan Poehling, and more


                    • 2018 Re-Draft (33:00):

                    • Andre Schvenikov is elite and the #1 pick
                    • Rasmus Dahlin is not an elite player from the draft... but who's fault is that?
                    • Quinn Hughes should be #2
                    • Farrabi is a high quality pick
                    • Evan Bouchard is ranked too low
                    • Ty Smith is better than Rasmus Sandin
