Setting Up Day Two of the Draft

Day one of the 2016 NHL Draft was a good day. Jesse Puljujarvi fell to the Oilers and Peter Chiarelli sprinted to the podium and selected the Finnish winger.

Here are the Oilers’ remaining picks:

Second round, #32
Third round, #63
Third round, #84 (from Florida)
Third round, #91 (from Pittsburgh)
Fifth round, #123
Fifth round, #149 (from St. Louis)
Sixth round, #153
Seventh round, #183

It looks like the Oilers have one player in mind for the #32 pick:

"There was one scenario where I wanted to jump from the second round to the first, but the player wasnt picked" -Peter Chiarelli

A lot of people think it’ll be Tyler Benson with the 32nd pick. Hopefully it won’t be Cliff Pu, right Kris?

Here’s what Jason Gregor expects today:

I expect #Oilers to draft some skilled forwards and a goalie with 2nd and 3rd round picks. Very little skilled offensive depth in org. #NHL
