Oilers don't need NOBODY from the top ten this year, weve stockpiled enough. Time to make a move for someone like these kids or maybe even a 25-26 year old center whose established. I dunno about the other Oilers fans out there but im sick of the basement.... <br />I'd also entertain the idea of J Gardiner n J Colborne from Toronto for the pick and a utility player. Being as Dalls Eakins(the new bench boss of the Oilers, and old Marlies top dog)probably has a good bit of familiarity with them already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920076279633590255.post-10491300406651844122013-06-13T14:06:59.898-06:002013-06-13T14:06:59.898-06:00I understand your point of view but respectively d...I understand your point of view but respectively disagree. I'd be more than ok with them taking a chance on a former top four pick, who has yet to turn 21 years of age. I'd be willing to bet, Johansen would be a completely different player, should he be dropped into a lineup like the Oilers. He is likely starving for an opportunity to show what he can do with other skilled players.

The people who know him best dont believe in him, that's gotta say something. Not saying he cant turn into an nhl player, but at this point, hes not even close.

I'd be fine either way but to be fair, Johansen has the higher upside and is far more likely to reach that potential quicker than anyone they draft this year. Which is the biggest reason I see them moving the pick.Oil Drophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786740698191341752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920076279633590255.post-11960544186148884142013-06-13T00:47:09.066-06:002013-06-13T00:47:09.066-06:00If he needs a change of scenery after only 107 gam...If he needs a change of scenery after only 107 games then he's got a lot to learn still and he's not what we need.
