He is from Newmarket Ontario.

I lived there for 15 years.

It is not Buffalo.

I bet if you had a 20% chance of being a male gigolo for a 70 year old woman for $5M per year, Jam you would say you like the taste of old pussy.

Fine with eichel and he's fine with us, at least according to us YouTube video. My type of kid!!

Most of us were expecting eichel, but hoping for mcdavid. I'm not really disappointed in getting eichel, but I am glad mcdavid will be in the west. So, now we have a better idea of the sabres future. I'm pretty happy.

Exactly jatm. Was disappointed for about 5 mins but am very happy with eichel + from buf's point of view, mcdavid prob couldn't have went to a better place. If Boston, Toronto, Philly, fla or car would have won that would have been very bad

ROFL @ Edmonton.

They drafted first overall in 2010 (Taylor Hall), 2011 (Ryan Nugent-Hopkins), 2012 (Nail Yakupov) as well as seventh overall in 2013 (Darnell Nurse) and third overall in June (Leon Draisaitl) before winning a generational jackpot Saturday with the keys to the most promising prospect since Sidney Crosby.

You don't tank for a 20% chance at anything. If Eichel wasn't in this draft I'd never of supported the tank.

I never supported the tank it is like throwing a fight and taking a pay-off, just not right. But they did it and got the consolation prize, a very good player but not what this was done for. When you play to win every game and do it with class things work out in your favor, but when you do things like throwing the fight you always come in second. When I hear people say this is what they expected they are saying they expected to lose and that is the problem.

[Novacane]

They wouldn't of tanked if there were not two top prospects in this draft. If they had I'd feel the same way you do.

Yeah ok. Tell that to the other 12 teams who didn't make the playoffs or get a generational talent! Or were the Oilers the only team that didn't tank?
