Prospect Info: Oilers Rookie at the Penticton Young Stars Classic

[FlameChampion]

This is a very ugly game lol

 

[VainGretzky]

Dejong is useless

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

For whatever it's worth, they're getting into shooting lanes and limiting the shots on net a bit.

 

[FlameChampion]

I didn’t like Chaulk last year. Doesn’t seem like he can coach offensive play.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Is the ice bad or are the oilers just slow

 

[McAsuno]

Been tuning in and out. How's the boys look? Wanner, Savoie, and O'Reilly in particular.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Nice little sequence there. Savoie did a nice job finding the soft spot and wining a board battle.

 

[VainGretzky]

That play by play girl lol

 

[Coffees]

Stack the first line

 

[Bryanbryoil]

O'Reilly is solid in his own zone.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Petrov and Grubbe need to be showing more.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

O'Reilly is solid in his own zone.

He's a really smart player out there from the bit I've seen.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I like what I've seen from Lajoie. I wouldn't be opposed to him signing a NHL deal.

They can wait, time at the U of A will serve him well imo.

Clattenburg is an absolute beauty

I’ve actually really liked Lajoie too. I think he’s got some untapped potential there. Blocked some dangerous chances, broke up lots of plays, he’s battled. Seems like an interesting player in all 3 zones. I personally think he’s been the best Dman on the ice tonight.

You can tell that 5 of the 6 defensemen the Oilers have on the roster are undrafted camp invites, there is a distinct lack of talent on the backend(offensively or defensively). The left side defensemen look particularly bad as they have imitated pylons several times when defending one on one off the rush. Most of them are junior level defensive defensemen, and they look outright ineffective at defending the blueline at a very low competition level.

 

[Jumptheshark]

not much meat on the bones of the Oilers rookie roster thus far

hurry main camp

Outside of Savoie? Wing and a prayer is needed for some of the kids

I really like him. He has the tools to be a NHL player for sure.

Liked Savoie's PK work. Saw the dynamic skating there and processor. Minimal offence side of the puck but did get a nice slot shot away. Like Clattenberg's consistent engagement every shift. O'Reilly seeming to come and go.

Lajoie caught up ice on the goal against. Not sure what happened at the o-blue line but puck past him for an odd man rush. Doesn't look very physical despite his size. More of an area defender.

Marelli beat again to give up a high danger chance. His forte is clearly on the other end of the ice.

Lot of scrabble play expected of a first game scrimmage.

Seems to be the story of Lajoie, kind of a meh player overall.

 

[Coffees]

Savoie looks like a young Bergeron on the PK

 

[Jumptheshark]

Dejong is useless

De Jong wont be around long

 

[Broberg Speed]

Oilers better scratch and claw to get every puck transporter on D into the system they can get their hands on.

A real opportunity there for Akey when he gets healthy.

Akey would've been a nice add to this team.

 

[McDoused]

I'm scared of chaulk.

Didn't he recommend Marrelli? He's been terrible.
