This whole tweet thread has a bunch of impressions.
I like Bruce McCurdy...he usually delivers some insightful opinions.

Sometimes he is out to lunch when the going gets tough or when he gets into analytics but his eyes still work wellI like Bruce McCurdy...he usually delivers some insightful opinions.
100%. It's a major shame that we can't send McLeod to the AHL. I feel like with his size and speed it would be the best place for him to develop.
That would be awesome for the farm team and the players but the damn CHL agreement. I think because both are older they can pull a Yamamoto and come in next year instead of the normal 2 year wait.I agree.
I would actually like to see McLeod and Bouchard in Bakersfield this season.
Starrett and Montoya played the first half from a picture I saw. Both of them and Talbot let in two goals each, Koskinen one, and the last goal was an empty netter.Blue team was Koskinen and Montoya, White was Talbot and Starrett. I think they each played half so it might of been Starrett getting smoked.
Also apparently the line of
Benson - McLeod - Aberg
Looked super good. Good mix of speed, skill and size.
So much for McDavid being unstoppable this year.. couldnt beat a rookie goalie and half a squad.So despite not having McDavid Team Blue (team Koskinen) won the scrimmage. It will be interesting to hear reports on the goaltending.
Connor must make them believe they are improving by “stopping” him. Just being a good captain.So much for McDavid being unstoppable this year.. couldnt beat a rookie goalie and half a squad.
I've watched Gravel tons before so its a little funny seeing hockey bloggers speaking about him as if he's an import from a unseen league. Jebus, he has substantial NHL games with a high profile club.
yeah, the guy can play, welcome to Gravel.
slow as molassesOkay, I will be THAT guy and call out what everyone wants to know.. soo how was Lucic today?
I've heard the complete opposite.slow as molasses
If the guys stay motivated and that leads into them playing well and Talbot/Koskinen are a top 15 tandem I think it'll last. McDavid won't slow down. Our penalty kill will be better so they won't have that to deflate them.The whole team probably looking over their shoulders a bit more than usual. Less comfort zone this season. Probably a good thing although this could relate to players being tense once the season starts.
One gets the feeling of a whole bunch of emotion and need to show better, positive, but this too is a timing thing. After last season nobody was going to be coming in here without bells on. The thing is how long does the motivation last, and does it.
Continue to tune into this Oilers station to see all the future episodes and plot and if Harry really did marry Sally.
I've heard the complete opposite.
Friend at the game said he looked a little faster and motivated.
Based on just their draft year stats, size and birthdates I would rank them like this if I were drafting them all in the same theoretical draft vs this 2018 draft year prospect pool:
Benson ~10th
Rattie ~40th
McLeod ~40th
You would've taken an 18-year-old Tyler Benson at 10th overall this year?
Yes... that's roughly his level of "goodness" (size/skill) in comparison to this current draft class. I rate Benson pretty highly. He's underrated by most imo because of his injury issues.
I agree. One of the few smart Oilers draft picks (rounds 2+) in recent yearsYes... that's roughly his level of "goodness" (size/skill) in comparison to this current draft class. I rate Benson pretty highly. He's underrated by most imo because of his injury issues.
