Who Should the Edmonton Oilers take 8th Overall?

Dreams will come true for a few hundred young hockey players in Vancouver on June 21-22. The Edmonton Oilers hold the 8th overall selection in this years draft. You can bet your keister a very good player will be taken at that position.

So who will they take at number eight? Well, the answer isn’t quite as clear-cut yet; but there is some semblance of an idea as to who the Oilers could have to choose from once they hit the podium.

This is a weird draft. There is a plethora of high-end talent available this year.
