I'm liking the OHL invites.
Marrelli is awesome. Kind of a Russell/Stecher type. Undersized, but a really good defender. Loves to block shots and wins a ton of battles because he's such a buzz saw. Not shy about giving guys in front a few good whacks too. He's the type of guy that I'd throw an ELC at and see what he can develop into.
Brochu is a cool story. Went from playing Junior C to winning the OHL's best goalie award. He's undersized too, but he had really good numbers in the ECHL last year. Probably not an NHL player there, but he could be solid in Bako pretty soon.

Have to say I'm most curious about Wakely and Clattenberg.
Oil tilting to OHL talent base with Pracey and his deep knowledge of the league and players. Wakely has good size and skills as an overage pick. Clattenberg as a clearly defined physical depth player who has a narrower range in abilities.

Here's his Elite Prospects File: Marc Lajoie - Stats, Contract, Salary & More
He's a local kid from St. Albert and tall at 6'6", but that +/- though... YIKES.

I think they can if they pay for everything themselves, which generally isn't worth it I guess

He got signed by Bako last year, I suspect he'll have a strong year at the U of A.

How does that work? Or was he just signed to an amateur tryout to finish the year out?
Seems he's not fully committed to U of A at this point as you'd think he'd be in school right now.

Yeah he got into 1 game with the Condors after signing an ATO with them near the end of the season.

I can't remember, I thought it might be have been an ATO, but it doesn't affect your ability to go to CIS institutions, a player could play in the NHL, then still go play at the U of A, U of A or UBC just fine.

Don't the Oilers have an undefeated streak or some really good record in this tournament going back a few years? With our bottom of the league prospect placement... it would be funny if the Oilers continued to beat on the other teams, especially Calgary who is in a full rebuild and have been stockpiling picks and prospects.

Honestly I know people dislike Spec, but he wasn't far off on his comments the other day.
The tourney is kind of a gong show. Bunch of guys that never played together thrown together and hope they succeed. Even high end prospects don't always look great.
Also depends on what guys bring in terms of age, as we've all seen how the Golden Bears were able to beat the Oilers rookies at times simply because of experience and further development.
I wish Shane Lachance could be there but his NCAA starts now I believe. Eemil Vinni was a great grab by Edmonton for goalie. Too bad he's injured

Lachance and Matt Copponi would have been interesting to see.

It's hockey!
Was worth driving down for a weekend back when our prospects were better than regular players. Days of HOPE
Remember when Hall and Eberle combined for a sick goal and we thought that would be our future for years to come?
