Prospect Info: Oilers Rookie at the Penticton Young Stars Classic

[CantHaveTkachev]

Any chance Akey plays in this tournament or his injury pretty bad?

? why wouldn't he play when the injury occurred like 11 months ago?

He hasn't played any preseason games for his OHL club so far. Hoping that he's healthy but we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Mr Kot]

Oooh olivier roy I hope he does good.

Oooh olivier roy I hope he does good.

Im having higher hopes for Tyler Bunz this tourney personally.

Im having higher hopes for Tyler Bunz this tourney personally.

I think this is finally the year Jeremie Blain takes a step

 

[smokersarejokers]

The fact that other teams offer this for free and the Oilers require a stupid subscription bothers me more than it probably should.

Was he in Barrie for their preseason games? I really don't know when these guys started coming to Edmonton.

If his development is anything like Bryan Young, we're in luck.

Ugh what a draft year that was. Think that might've been the year I started getting scared off big physical guys that were able to dominate the junior ranks.

I guess even 2011 too. Just a lot of guys with size that really couldn't do shit at the next level

Gernat, Marincin, Hamilton, Martindale. 4 guys that all had size and trended real well the year after drafting them only to see them fail miserably. Although maybe it's time to try Gernat again, guy is out producing Radulov to start the season

on Oilers+
but
all the other teams are streaming the games for free

Those jersey ad patches aren’t free ya know!!

Ah good ol bunz of steel, so much promise

Wait, we have to pay for this? Didn't the Oilers generate record revenues in the playoffs? Nice way to thank the fans for their support lol.

Yay, a game tonight!

Savoie, Akey and by default, Sam O'Reilly make this the most interesting rookie tournament since pre-Covid years IMO.

Agreed, also intrigued by Lajoie.
Would liked to have seen Fischer (Blues fans were pretty high on him) but he's already playing college games I guess.

Edit: No Akey. Boo

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Former Oiler (for 20ish games anyway) Brendan Perlini posted a fascinating insider perspective of what rookie camp is like.

Start at 2:39 to get past the whole "What success looks like" preamble.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Akey bum shoulder. Yep he is an Oiler!

 

[belair]

Petrov's English is excellent. Really smart kid.

 

[FlameChampion]

Really disappointing news about Akey. Hopefully its just being super cautious with him.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Petrov's English is excellent. Really smart kid.

He got the Draisaitl treatment. Spend 2 seasons in bumf*** nowhere Canada and come out sounding like you're from Sherwood Park.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I can’t wait to see Nathan play tonight. He’s played so much hockey. He’s got such good potential. Too bad Eemil Vinni is injured

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Not sure you need to describe Prince Albert or North Bay in those terms. Impressive to watch Petrov's confidence and mastery with English language from his draft age to now.

I watched Martindale a lot in Ottawa. I honestly thought they had a player there.
