Prospect Info: 2024/25 Oilers Prospect Thread

[BarDownBobo]

and we traded two prospects for him. I still do not understand why we traded for a guy who has had two years of back to back lost seasons. The guy is too fragile for the NA game

Borgault and Chiasson have combined for 4 more points this season in 22 more games. Jarventie has injury concerns but he’s shown significantly more at the pro level than either of the other two. It was a complete change of scenery move that likely amounts to nothing but Jarventie is much more likely to play NHL games.

Plus they got a pick attached which they in turn flipped to get Podkolzin. Which in itself is a huge win. The trade as a whole has massively favored the Oilers regardless of Jarventie’s injury issues this year.

Maxim Beryozkin

Remember that name boys. Might be a fluke pick... but he definitely is NHL ready.

 

[Soli]

Sam O'Reilly scores nice goal, and I imagine takes a number. Collects an assist later.





----

Brady Stonehouse with this tip.



-----

Connor Clattenburg with good anticipation finds himself on a breakaway. Nathan Day makes 17/19 saves for a 8-2 win.



-----

Beau Akey sends the pass from his zone for this apple.



Different Day, different Dalyn Wakely goal.

 

[McDNicks17]

A point each for Lachance and Copponi today.

PP goal for Lachance. SH assist for Copponi.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Maxim Beryozkin

Remember that name boys. Might be a fluke pick... but he definitely is NHL ready.

And yet, he hasn’t even heard a peep from the organization. Absolutely pathetic on the teams part.

 

[Shizuka]

Hardly even talked about, but Paul Fischer, the D they received from STL is quietly putting together a nice season at Notre Dame. Plus skater, good 4 way mobility and edges, pretty solid defensively and isn't shy about taking the body. Not a flashy type but this team desperately needs some wins in the development pipeline, so this is one of very few up arrows.

The Terrier's won the Friendship Four, which seems to be a smaller version of the Beanpot. Anywho, the Terriers won it, besting Merrimack yesterday and Notre Dame today.

Shane Lachance was all over the third period comeback down 3-1. He and Matt Copponi assisted on the 2-3 goal, assisted on the game tying goal, and scored the tournament winner.

Wow, what a game. Lachance is evolving into a special player right before our eyes. Hopefully he gets signed at the end of the year and we can get him into the AHL pronto. He'll be 22 when next season starts so the perfect age to take that next step.

And he's been at 3 development camps in a row. So he seems invested in the Oilers, which isn't always the case with kids who go the college route.

 

[McDNicks17]

Another shutout for Jonsson. 21 saves this time.

9-0-0, 1.42 GAA, .938 SV%

Unironically possibly the greatest goalie of our time.

Unsigned?---How long do the Oilers retain his rights? Has he expressed an interest in North American hockey.

Yeah, he’s unsigned at the moment. Not 100 percent how long we have his rights

Well dare to dream.....but wouldn't it be incredible if after 40 years the Oilers drafted a franchise goaltender? Just having some fun here on a cold morning. Of course his current league and performance is a very long way from star status in the NHL but he has turned into an intriguing prospect.

My only hesitation here is that goalies from Sweden who do turn into even average NHL players are typically up at the Elite League level right now if not already beyond it:

Lundqvist- 28 GP, 1.45 GAA in SEL @ 20/21
Ullmark- 35 GP, 2.09 GAA in SEL @ 20/21
Forsberg- 22 GP, 2.44 GAA in SEL @ 20/21
Markstrom- 37 GP, 2.98 GAA in AHL @ 20/21
Gustavsson- 31 GP, 3.38 GAA in AHL @ 20/21

I get this isn’t necessarily his fault and maybe he has a historically good season in HockeyAllsvenskan that charts a new path for goalies coming out of Sweden, but the sooner he gets signed so we can dictate his developmental path the better IMO.

 

[North]

First period done and Sam O’Reilly has a goal and an assist so far.

GAA IMO is more of a team stat than sv%. That said I'd rather he be killing it at whatever level he's at than not and who knows how good the other goalies were in tandem with/ahead of those other guys?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

First period done and Sam O’Reilly has a goal and an assist so far.

Hopefully he's starting to heat up!

 

[VeteranPresence]

Knights absolutely running the 67s out of the barn, 8-0 halfway through the game!!!

O'Reilly up to 2-1-3 on the afternoon but Nicholl somehow only has one point so far LOL.

 

[North]

Second period in the books and O’Reillly has added another goal.

Nicholl has an assist.

Knights up 8-0. Third period started not too long ago.

 

[Senor Catface]

So 20 points in 24 games in a defensive role. We can relax a bit now?

 

[Soli]

Sam O'Reilly had an assist at even strength before he added two PPGs.







William Nicholl assist:

We can never RELAX!!!! It's HFOil. Panic and despair are the only permissible states.

 

[Soli]

Going to be an interesting month for O'Reilly and Nicholl. London is probably going to lose Top-6 forwards Cowan, Barkley, Halttunen, Nurmi, and top pairing Dickinson and Bonk to the World Juniors camp & tournament.
