I wasn't aware of this, but this is from Mirtles latest article:
Also according to a former Habs scout, Edmonton's owner overruled the management and scouting staff to take Yakupov 1st overall. I'm assuming the rest off management wanted Murray.
I'm not shocked, at either of those things.
Murray would've been great for the Oilers, Yaks value is probably not the highest it could be right now either, will be interesting to see who they move for defence.
