2021 Draft - 5th Pick: Shane Lachance (F)

[Drivesaitl]

Absolute powerhouse by the looks of things.

I like big physical players. Strange video though. One camera in the rink and its on the far end of where most of the hilites are. heh

That kid would be a monster in a highschool. lol

Must have been on the football team too.

The token Oilers late-round pick of son of an ex-NHLer.

One son of a former NHLer to go with the son of a former Oilers GM. I like it.

I heard you stop growing at age 15.

Lies

Either taller or wider, we all keep growing

 

[MettleMcOiler]

Welcome, Lachance!

Pepsi

Yup, we used to draft Coke machines but finally realized that Coke sucks, so now we are drafting Pepsi machines and they will kick some ass for us instead of bust like the Coke machines did!

Since I brought up his name in the Marino trade comment on the Around the League thread, has anyone seen him play with Youngstown of the USHL? He's 1-1-2 with 10 PIM and -1 in 14 games.

I got excited with the stat line until I got to the '14GP' part.

He’s Jack Parker’s grandson, but Shane Lachance is making his own mark as BU’s first sophomore men’s hockey captain - The Boston Globe

The big forward has impressed even his grandfather — legendary Terriers coach Jack Parker — with his quick ascent.

Paywall. Can you do a quick summary?

A guy who is "tough to handle in front?" I like him already. Good news for such a threadbare prospect list.

He knows his role and will give smaller D absolute fits around the net.

Good--there are too many "perimeter" guys on the Oilers.

I like this dude and Podz as well. No telling if Lachance will ever be an NHL'er but I think he will be a decent player (from what I've seen on videos) in the AHL.

Let's be honest here-- the results from the Condors (so far) this season have been rather uninspiring.
