Prospect Info: 2024/25 Oilers Prospect Thread

That’s an insanely difficult shot to pull off. Wow.

At this time of the year I’d assume Dickinson is at the world juniors? And if that’s the case the forwards have been more in charge of the offence with him away from the knights. Next season may see a big bump in orielly numbers as I’d expect Dickinson to be with the sharks next season (sharks going to be fun to watch with all their recent drafted talent)

It's not just Dikinson that is away. Bonk is also gone, so are Barkey and Cowan. O'Reilly and Nicholl have really stepped up.

I think his ohl billet family was an English teacher/s

I remember hearing about how he was offered a Russian family to billet with and he said no. He wants to be fully immersed and learn English.

Maybe this was someone else tho.

 

[Skolman]

Quite the rip by Savoie


Also, Petrov playing really well lately

 

[Canovin]

Nice to see Petrov pulls things together lately. Another goal last night gives him 5 points in the last 5 games

If hockey doesn’t work out, he could be Josh Harnett stunt double

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Can one of you Cats who watch Bakersfield regularly tell us how Petrov’s game looks besides the obvious sudden production increase ? Is he doing a legitimate return to prospect status ?

Interesting. Honestly, I could've seen him going the NCAA route after this season. He's having a good season but he's still several developmental years away IMO.

Not everyone wants to continue their schooling after HS. He'll have 3 years in the pro's to make his case to be a NHL player unless he's returned as an overager (IIRC he wasn't drafted in 2023 even though he was eligible) if he's eligible to do so.

I also thought the jump to the college game would be beneficial for his career.

 

[Sheikyerbouti]

o’Reilly putting up more offense as of late is good.
That said Nicholl is just constantly impressing me. He gets bounced around the lineup so much and doesn’t seem out of place ever. Still do not get how this guy was a 7th rounder. Like, he won’t even be 19 when the season is over.


I know so very little about him, I don’t really follow NCAA at all.
Stats wise doesn’t look great, worst +/- on the team but that doesn’t really say much without context. Is he used as a shutdown guy with tough minutes?

Agreed on Nichol.. I think a lot of us starting watching orielly and have been blown away by Nicholl.

Fischer is a shut down guy for sure, he's physical, but he skates well enough to be a bit more imo

 

[CycloneSweep]

Fischer the 7th d today,

Paul Fischer picked up this assist, but also sent this pizza up the middle before it was delivered to the back of his net.

That pass is a yoiikkes lol

Would be a Bouchard type of pass turnover into a super soft Skinner goal against.

How'd that even count the German players feet are still on the ice when the scorer crossed the blue line

They called it a goal on the ice, and there was no definitive angle that showed the German player touch the puck in zone before the guy changing got off.

 

[Oilhawks]

Forgive my ignorance of the prospects, is it Fischer & Akey only as Oilers prospects World Juniors players this time?

 

[North]

Yes indeed.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Akey also playing as the 7th d today.
Akey and Fischer playing a combined like, 10 minutes today. Still good for them to be in the tournament.
