2024 Draft: 3rd Pick - Connor Clattenburg (F)

[La Bamba]

Not that I care for a 5th but I’ll never understand these type of picks

When has it ever worked out lol? It seems better to draft a smaller skilled player

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Has a fun name to say.

 

[Stealth1616]

On the bright side we used to draft these kinds of guys in the 2nd round

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Considering the guys that we pocked afterwards they must've really liked him to have taken him at this pick. I love physical players more than most people do. Someone must have some intel on him IMO.

 

[VainGretzky]

Projection 3rd line LW ECHL

 

[BlackDogg]

Comparable: puljuarvis little brother

 

[McDNicks17]

It's usually not a good sign if Brock Otten doesn't even have an OHLer ranked haha.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Oilers scouting looks to be shit like always. Pracey another yes man

Another mindless post with no thought on the other players we drafted

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Hard to defend this one. Sick name and lettuce though.

 

[TheNumber4]

Can barely find video of this dude. Hope someone smart on the Oilers has an inside line on this kid.

 

[On The Prowl]

Could he become a pure rat on the 4th line? Maybe we are looking for a cheap shot artist.

 

[Giggleplex]

why?????????

 

[tiger_80]

A Big Connor.

Franchise Connor, Brown Connor, Dumbass Connor (McGregor). lol

 

[Oilers4life1987]

I didn't get this pick either, are we back to draft big coke machines who hit everything and pan out as nothing. We should be drafting BPA in those rounds. Romani is a thought.

 

[OHL Fan]

As we saw in the Stanley cup finals, the Oilers needed some physical toughness and this kid may be a a power forward to open up lanes for the skilled.
He played top minutes against London in playoffs and seemed to physically control their top guys.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Seeing this kid in his prospect development camp scrum he is an absolute unit. Was on his way to the LA Kings development camp but turned around since we drafted him. Said that he moved into a top line role with Flint and it helped him a lot with his numbers and to get drafted. He idolizes Brady Tkachuk, at least it's the tough brother.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Some of his work.

Seems like a bit of a clown with the gestures after the fights. Don’t like the way his skates kept coming up in that third fight either. Pretty decisive wins on the first two.

 

[Donner]

Why make this pick? In UFA this year you could have signed 7 similar players for cheap. The odds this type of player even sniffs 3rd line in the AHL is nominal

Why not swing for the fences with a high upside prospect with skill

No more Mitch Moroz picks please

 

[gordonhught]

No more Mitch Moroz picks please

Mitch Moroz was the right pick at the time. The whole hockey world thought so.

 

[Donner]

Mitch Moroz was the right pick at the time. The whole hockey world thought so.

Maybe Bob Stauffer and co enamored with any and all Oil Kings players.

Moroz had 25 points, was drafted in the 2nd round and was not known for defensively ability. He had size, truculunce, and the Oil Kings sweater. He had bust written all over him from day 1

Oilers did not develop him properly. Could have been the next Jamie Benn.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Looking at this guys stats - how the hell did he even get drafted lol

 

[North]

The Oilers went walkabout. Thank goodness it was one of the later round picks.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I still wonder if they're hoping to land a Tanner Jeannot type with this pick.
