DRAFT: Top prospects explore the possibility of coming to Oilers

VANCOUVER, BC - The top 2019 NHL Draft prospects are getting close to the light at the end of the tunnel.
That source of light may have been the sun shining down on them from the top deck of a yacht docked at Pacific Yacht Charters, where prospective NHL hopefuls such as Jack Hughes, Kaapo Kakko, Bowen Byram, Cole Caufield, Trevor Zegras, Dylan Cozens and Co., fielded crowds of reporters ahead of one of the biggest days of their lives.
The NHL Draft is an unpredictable event and although analysts and prognosticators perennially predict how the picks will unfold, nothing is certain until a name is called.
With the Oilers choosing eighth-overall in Friday's Round 1, a few of the top prospects commented on what would be the most exciting part about joining the Oilers organization.
United States National Team centre Alex Turcotte:
"Obviously they got some great players in (Connor) McDavid, (Leon) Draisaitl and (Ryan) Nugent-Hopkins. They're elite players and to be around those guys and to learn from them would be pretty special and obviously really beneficial. I know McDavid is the best player in the world. Any time you could play with a guy of that calibre, you can only get better. It would be a blast and really cool."
