That would be hilarious. The Oilers have already screwed LA enough this summer, then add this low blow.
I'm not sure about all this dynasty talk though, esp in this salary cap era. Their top end talent, if they can develop into game breakers within the 3 years of entry level contracts, can/will command huge $$ as shown by Tavares/Myers signings, making it difficult to keep them all in one place and still able to field a decent team around them. A fresh #1 pick, a top-end d-man, and even the league's best goalie does not turn the worst team last year into a cup contender, sorry.
