Ten years ago today, the Edmonton Oilers selected Connor McDavid first overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

  2. I’ll never forget the look on his face when the Oilers won the draft lottery to pick first overall. It was soul crushing. r/watchpeopledieinside

  3. What often gets missed in the telling of this saga is that it took Edmonton nearly 10 years, simply to find a player of McDavid’s caliber.

  7. Atleast they didn’t get any other first overalls around the same time.

  8. He was like their 3rd 1st overall pick in like 6 years or something right? Insanity.

  11. Imagine having to live in Edmonton and lose the Stanley cup two times in a row. Poor guy doesn’t know what’s in store.

  12. Ten years and nothing to show for it. Maybe if they traded him for a decent goalie and a dman who can make a pass then they would win a cup. This is Leon’s team.

  13. Its a crime with the amount of high-picks they’ve had not winning at least one Cup

  17. 10 years ago, the Boston Bruins fucked their draft with Zbroil, DeBrusk and senyshin while Barzal, Connor,Chabot,Eriksson Ek, boeser, konecny and aho was still available.

  22. McDavid is one of those players who, no matter how much time passes, I automatically think of as a young player who just got drafted

  24. Mcdavid, Nurse, Hopkins for Barkov, Tkachuk, Forsling, Does Florida still win ?
