Prospect Info: Oilers Rookie at the Penticton Young Stars Classic

[Heavy Dee]

very possible, I didn't look it up. I thought Florian was a bruin prospect for some reason.

Ok, well, continue to get mad at these kids then. I won't get in the way.

And to think this thread was about objective opinions on their game play. My bad.

 

[Giggleplex]

Watched a bit of the third period and thought William Nicholl looked good. Made some nice plays all 3 zones and looked like one of the Oiler's best forwards despite being the youngest player there.

The D invitees were mostly awful though, and their inability to do anything useful with the puck really hampers what the fowards can do.

Could sweep the rest of the tournament and I'd still be worried about the organizations lack of depth. Specially on defense.

Canucks fans are like the nerdy girl that never gets to be the prom queen in teen movies.

fixed it for you.

Hoping that the first game was just jitters. Did not enjoy last game at all.

So Akey is not playing at all during these games this weekend? He was injured 11 months ago. This is giving me Klefbom vibes all over again.

Yeah its weird. If it was preseason and they didn’t really want to put him against AHL/NHL physical players I would understand it more but seems really odd to me.

 

[McDNicks17]

I don't mind them being cautious with Akey.

This tourney does have a history of players getting hurt by morons running around trying to make a name for themselves.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

The overall quality of play is so low I couldn't even get a real read on anyone in the last game. Not gonna waste my time watching another.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who saw really good things from Nicholl. First two periods he passed it too much but settled in after. He should love to the top line. Even though Clattenburg looked good, O’Reilly and Nicholl have chemistry from junior

Let's remember that picking Savoie up was a cap dump on our part, trying to scrounge up what we could. Looking at this unbiased, we have nobody except this O'Reilly kid and Akey who have a shot of being an impact NHL player at some point.

The guys can barely move out there. I know as fans of the club we need to be looking at our prospects and HOPE-ing they pan out and bring us great success. Fact of the matter is it's looking grim. Yadda yadda one rookie tournament game. Lots of these guys have been to two or three of these at this point and are nothing players. Just how it is, and that's normal for any team.

Last year Holloway put on a clinic in this tournament and showed he is leagues ahead of the rest. Even then he was in the AHL all year and struggled at the NHL level. Nobody in the group resembles anything near the level of Holloway, use that as your barometer.

Took you 1 game to write off savoie.

Looking at this uNbiAsEd!11!!!!

Anyone else getting an error on Oilers+ ?

Edit - seems to be fixed

We definitely need to stock up on D and forwards with speed and skill through the next 2-3 drafts.

Was very interested in the player so spent a lot of time watching highlights, full games, shift by shifts, etc. Won't be an NHL player.

 

[Mr Kot]

Ill be listening to April Wine while I have the game on. No one bother me.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Didn’t hear correctly that the Flames are starting a 24, 25 and 26 year old in the game tonight???

Exactly.

Exactly.

The Oilers have a player thats 25.

What makes you say that?

Trigger alert - she is singing the old version of the anthem!

Really? Who is that? Should have an age limit. 23 and under.

You mean the one that's grammatically correct? How dare she!

Ethan De Jong.

Not sure if hes playing in this game, but he was on the roster list for the prospect camp.

 

[Cloned]

They look like the DoD teams under Eakins, lol.

Complete with 77 Klefbom and 64 Yakupov.

 

[Mr Kot]

Clattenburg answered the Bell

 

[McDoused]

Attaboy Clattenburg taking on a guy thats bigger than him.
