We really don't. We have like a slightly above league average prospect pool at best if not outright average. Look at some of the monstrosity prospect pools that Buffalo/New Jersey/Ottawa etc or even our own mid 2010s prospect pools to see what the better ones in the league actually look like. Also hilarious seeing you call a prospect whose been as productive as Blumel the past 2 years in pro hockey "inconsequential". That means you think most of our prospect pool is inconsequential. We're in no position to be throwing away prospects like this considering how badly our cap has been mismanaged.
Blumel is inconsequential, he’s not worth anything and he wouldn’t be helping the oilers squad just like he isn’t helping the Dallas squad. He’s likely a Benson/Marody level prospect and besides we really don’t even know what happened between the player and team.
Those guys were 3rd-5th round picks and the only one who looks like a home run refused to sign here so they got their pick back for him. Typical Oilers luck, but it speaks to their ability to draft and develop that all those guys are playing in the NHL except Samo who wasn’t waiver exempt and wasn’t beating anyone out and who returned a potential bottom 6 option. Guys like Jones and Bear haven’t developed significantly and did bring in needed pieces.
There’s the fans expectations of prospects and then there’s reality. Always set your expectations too high and you’ll disappoint yourself in the reality.
Not a chance. Bear has been on waivers
Foegele would have more points if Foegele could score
I have no idea if Bear was put on waivers but I do know Foegele should be on waivers.
Jonsson must've really stepped it up the last few games. When I looked at his stats a couple of weeks ago they were awful.
This is a list of who gives a f***. Honestly.
Last I saw he was at a 0.899sv%. Good on him for upping that.
