I agree, Edmonton has had four #1's in the last nine years. Some good players but other than McDavid, how would you rate them. Pavel Bure was picked #113 but it would be nice to have a #1 in a good draft year, just once. Every time Vancouver gets in a draft lottery it seems to wind up worse than if it drafted according to where it finished.
Interesting story about Pavel Bure, is that the Jets,Oilers,and Red Wings wanted to draft him in 1989, but we're told he was ineligible. The Canucks drafted him anyway, and founder documents that showed Bure had played in enough National team games to be drafted. Several clubs filed complaints with the league over Bure's status, but to no avail.
