Prospect Info: 2024/25 Oilers Prospect Thread

[Stud Muffin]

Samuel Jonsson made 9 saves to beat the worst team in the Allsvenskan to improve to 6-0-0, 2.03 GAA, .906 SV% the other day.

Albin Sundin also got his first points of the year with two assists yesterday. He was recently sent down to the Allsvenskan and has played five games down there.

9 Saves???

9 Saves???

It was a 6-2 win with the shots at 31-11.

Jonsson's team is probably the best defensive team in that league.

Heh, that's not too great a showing actually for only 11 shots. Almost Skinner-esque Good season stats, so obviously a one-off. I know the offense isn't as high in the Swedish leagues, but 11 shots allowed is impressive.

 

[McDNicks17]

Secondary assist on the outlet pass for Fischer.

Will Nicholl shorthanded goal.


Dalyn Wakely with a secondary assist and a decent vertical.


Beau Akey had this goal.


Matt Copponi collects an assist with this backhand dish.

Pretty disappointed in how O'Reilly's season has progressed, a quarter of the way through. Perhaps it's usage or deployment but I thought he was taking on 1st or 2nd line minutes with the best players? Not great production as other prognosticators were predicting.

9th in scoring on his own team and at 0.75 points/game. Hopefully he picks it up soon.

He’s giving me Schaefer vibes, so wouldn’t be hurt if he was moved this year over a ‘26 1st.

That is dumb asset management, we moved a 26 first for him. Nobody would give up a first even if it is the 30th pick. You'd be lucky to get a 3rd round pick.

I mean trade him instead of our next available 1st, which is in 2026.

Schaefer is actually off to a pretty good start this year in Milwaukee. He has 8 goals in 12 games.

With a 36.4% SH%. I'd venture a guess that is probably not going to last.

He has a lot of intangibles. Think Henrique's eventual replacement.

San Jose returned Kasper Halttunen back to London for some reason, so O'Reilly had a different role tonight.

Easton Cown shifted over to #1C and O'Reilly played on Nicholl's wing on the third line.

3rd line RW when we drafted him to be a center? Ouch.

Thanks for the update, I know you're one of the few here who actually gets to catch OHL games. Don't want to read too much into it but does it indicate some disappointment from the coaching staff in his game too? Nicholl has been excellent considering his draft pedigree.

Connor Clattenburg crashed the net for this PPG, stood up as the GWG as Nathan Day made 27 saves for the 2-1 Firebirds win.

Shane Lachance playing with Copponi tonight. This goal sends the game to extra frames.



---

Beau Akey collected two assists, including this one on the game winner. Can't find video of his secondary assist.



Dalyn Wakely got a secondary assist on the PP. It was a very nothing assist, not gonna link the video.

3rd line RW when we drafted him to be a center? Ouch.

He lined up at LW this afternoon.

He accounts for a quarter of the Knights total face-off attempts and his 55% win rate leads the team. The only person who's taken more face-offs than O'Reilly is unfortunately current 2nd line center Jacob Julian.

William Nicholl: 144 attempts (12% of Knights total, 4th most) for 47.2% in the dot.

Clattenburg is a menace

Odd that they had him only take 6 faceoffs compared to Nicholl's 10 albeit Nicholl was much better on the draw today. Maybe O'Reilly is nursing an injury?

I think it's just a numbers game. Halttunen is way too good for the OHL, so him going back is a little strange and makes it a no-brainer to reunite the Barkey-Cowan-Halttunen line that destroyed the playoffs and Memorial Cup last year.

They've got Nicholl's line listed as the third line, but really I'd say that's the second line, so it's a jump down from #1C to second line wing. I think he'll actually get a better chance at offense on the second line because he'll be deferring to Dickinson less there.

I'd guess most of O'Reilly's were on the PK. He's still their #1 PKer.

What is everyone's perspective on Akey? Is he trending well or is disappointing?

He's been hitting the scoresheet lots lately after a quite first handful of games. He seems to be tracking well if he can stay healthy and keep progressing.

Looks like he'll show well if he can stay healthy. That, of course, is the big question.
