Edmonton Oil Kings/Junior Hockey thread

[Cloned]

I'd be very open to using a 6th or 7th on Kubicek. I had him as a 3rd/4th rounder last year.

Scouting report?

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Scouting report?

Steady shut-down defenseman. Physical, good skater, strong shot. Nothing special offensively, but I could see him being an NHLer.

Oil Kings took a 6'4 Slovakian forward in the CHL Import Draft, but not the 6'4 Slovakian forward I wanted them to.

Good sign that NHL teams are seeing potential in this guy. Fourth Oil King drafted so far with a good chance a couple more to still.

Excellent draft for the OK’s so far. Also, kinda of cool that we produce so many goalies drafted and actually starting games in the NHL with Brossoit, Jarry and now Cossa

Love it. Hope we'll be seeing lots more of this, and have it extend to al paying customers, businesses, events etc.

I wish all their families my condolences. All 3 were close friends at the Delta Hockey Academy.

Awful.

So sad.

Still very early in the investigation, but...3 young fellows, 2:45 in the morning, and single vehicle crash. I think of things like being sleepy at the wheel, texting or not paying attention while driving, etc. I just hope it didn't involve alcohol or drugs. Doesn't make it any less tragic or comforting for the parents, but that would put a real bad spin on it.

It's right near the Trans-Canada interchange, with bends in the roads and on/off ramps. Looking at Google Maps, if it happened on 104th Avenue, there's 2 gradual reverse curves, with one having a median on it. The photos with the cop and the evidence numbers didn't show a median.

It looks like his teammates are telling him it's ok, but really they're offering safe places for his family to hide.

Surrey police have determined that speed was a factor in the deaths of Caleb Reimer, Parker Magnuson and Ronin Sharma. That would be consistent with the evidence markers that show a steady path to the other side of the road. Magnuson, or his family, owned the Focus but there was no mention on who was the driver.
