Petrov not off to the best start
Wright IMO seems like a sleeper. Could be a late bloomer type. I didn't mind him at all this preseason.Not able to watch, but 3-2 so far for Bakersfield after 2 periods.
Savoie with 2 assists
Wright is an interesting AHL player too.
Another sign of our teams poor development.

I’ve heard Sens fans say how bad Bourgault looks too. It’s shocking. Hope we replace Chalk soon honestly. We have few prospects and it’s too important that they develop well.
All of Holland’s drafts were assBourgault was always a bad f***ing pick from day 1, lol. Wright's a horseshit scout.
Still injured, I think.Is Brady Stonehouse in Bakersfield or is he home with serious injury
Holloway might have been the only one that could potentially be the right pick for his spot. Broberg will be an everyday player but so many better players taken after him. XB and Schaffer were junk picks. Do we even have any players taken during Hollands time in rounds 2 to 7 that even look like potential NHL players? Akey, Wanner and Lavoie is all I can think of.All of Holland’s drafts were ass

Holloway being the least shittiest 1st round pick is pretty rough too. Looking back, there are many picks in the late 1st round that panned out better than Holloway. Even Calgary got a superior Connor Zary at 24th.Holloway might have been the only one that could potentially be the right pick for his spot.

In Holland's combined 5 drafts (and 25 picks) between 2019-2023, Holloway and Broberg may very well become the only legit NHLers. And they're both out of the organization already. Chiarelli actually had Holland beat clean in the draft department.
XB shouldn’t have even been an afterthought with Walstedt dropping to us. That should have been a no-brainer automatic pick, even over WJ at that point in time.I know who was passed on looks bad now, but in general the 2021 draft was a crapshoot because of COVID.
Bourgault was slotted 20th by Bob Mackenzie, who polls scouts. So you can say Wright is a horseshit scout (which is true) but all the other scouts had the same opinion.
Would have been nice if anyone listened to Coffey though...
The Red Wings 2017 draft might be the worst of all time.I feel like Red Wings fans warned us about Wright too.

They reached for a guy with third line upside at #9 and then proceeded to use the other 10 picks on guys who were 4th line and bottom pairing players in junior with barely even AHL upside.
It's honestly mindboggling that Wright got another job after that. Like sure, the draft is a crap shoot, but just the choice to draft that many of those types of players in one draft hurts my brain.
I can at least stomach those a bit because they swung on some decent upside guys and missed.Hopefully Wanner or LaChance makes it in the NHL because there is a chance we could come out of the 2020 and 2021 draft with a combined 0 NHL games played...

How would the Oilers pay that cost for a goalie with no NHL experience?I wanted Wallstedt that day. Of course Johnston would've been excellent as well including getting a recommendation from Coffey to the Oilers to pick him. It just didn't make sense to move down from a blue chip goalie prospect who the wild just signed to a 2x2 today as well.
