Edmonton Wins the Draft Lottery

Blog — By on April 12, 2012 11:23 AM

The Oilers “won” the lottery for the 2012 NHL draft – it came down to them and Columbus for the top pick and Edmonton got lucky number one.

Some diehard Columbus fans anxiously awaited the lottery results and weren’t pleased… You’d think they’d be used to losing… (coming from a Toronto native, talk about the pot calling the kettle black but still, I had to.)

    It’ll be interesting to see if the Oilers keep the pick and go with Yakupov, but at the same time we should all know that the Jackets weren’t going to risk it and pick up another Russian and have the same problems they have with Zherdev and Filatov leaving for the KHL.
