Prospect Info: 2017-2018 Prospect Stats and Discussion

[McFlyingV]

Benson is doing well.

This team could use Puljujarvi-Yamamoto-Benson panning out really bad next season. Desperately need at least 2 of them to become top 6 forwards and at least one of them a 1st line forward.

 

[EXTRAS]

How has Caleb Jones looked. Do you guys expect him to make the Oilers eventually? Upside?

 

[oilers'72]

Stuart Skinner will be in the lineup as the WHL takes on Russia in the first game of the CHL/Russia Series @ 6 PM. Tyler Benson was supposed to take part but he was replaced due to his injury and having played only a few games.
Watch on Sportsnet and Sportsnet1.

An often forgotten prospect that I'm very interested to follow his year is John Marino. I like his tools a lot, and while he's still a few years away and won't get a ton of PP time at Harvard this year because of Fox, I think if he can put up a 20-25 point season he will be tracking very well towards a real 2-way NHL prospect (shoots right also!).

He also has the benefit of being a bigger guy.

I am much more impressed with Tyler Vesel. Right shot forward, 7 points in 6 games. His stats so far have been comparable to Cagguilas so thats a good sign for us.

My mind's slipping. Dylan Wells is also on the OHL roster for these 2 games.

The issue with Vesel is I don't think he skates as well as Caggiula and he's also the same age as Caggiula so its hard to say he's really comparable. If he surprises then great, but I'm not holding my breath on him becoming an NHLer.

 

[oilers'72]

Dmitri Samorukov scored Russia's first goal (he had an assist but it was taken away), 2 shots and was +1 as Russia beat Team OHL 5-2. Dylan Wells took the loss, only stopping 13 of 17 shots. Artyom Manukyan and Alexey Podolyan had 2 goals apiece for Russia while Alexey Melnichuk turned aside 35 shots for the win. Wells won't play in Monday's rematch and I'm not sure if Samorukov will, either.

[Alowlyoilersfan]

if Benson can just stay healthy for the entire year, he might be able to get his development back on track and go into next season( his first pro season?) with confidence

 

[drewshoo]

End of the first and Yammer already has 3 points. 1g, 2a.

Goddamn, KY.

Kid is going to be a beast for us one day soon.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Goddamn, KY.

Kid is going to be a beast for us one day soon.

Im selfishly disappointed he wasn't sent down earlier, I got tickets when spokane was in Calgary to watch, too bad he was still with the oilers, really wanted to see him live.

 

[Hynh]

Another assist. 1-3-4 now.

Goddamn, KY.

Good chance I'll be eating crow over him in a couple years.

Meanwhile, feel sorry for the other Jr teams... he's going to eat them up after playing nhl'ers

 

[FlameChampion]

Benson with 2 goals tonight too.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

awesome to see for KY
I know it's only Jr. but I'm sure it feels good to score a goal...hasn't had one in awhile
