I figured Ross would post this eventually but I was just reading it so...

Interesting to see the thought of MacKinnon going to Buffalo. Imagine the 1-2 punch of MacKinnon AND Grigorenko down the middle for years to come there. Yowsers!

I dont know if the Oilers would pass on Sean Monahan or Nichushkin in favor of Darnell Nurse but these guys know more than I do. I think Nurse that early would be a bit of a reach. Everyone says the Oilers need D but they have some pretty good D in the pipeline already. They also need a big #2 center (who doesnt) and for that reason alone I dont see them passing on Monahan or Nichushkin if this is where they end up sitting.

Pretty sure Monahan would be top 5 on the Oilers' draft board. Think he'd be their #1 target outside the big 4.

Absolutely.
