Love this pick.

 

[GOilers88]

I don't really know anything about prospects, so I hope he does well and I hope people give him a fair shake. Let's use this thread to discuss the player and not lament the management that drafted him, please.

Should have taken The Goalie or traded for immediate help imo......Team has a tonne of holes.

 

[Mowzie]

I don't know how to feel. Someone tell me how to feel.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Welcome!

 

[RipsADrive]

Like it.

I know people are chapped about the goalie but I don't see that development fitting the Oilers window.

Don't know anything about the player but I like the style based on his draft profile. We need talented forwards.

 

[OilerTyler]

Can't wait for people to cheer against this kid because they wanted Wallstedt instead.

 

[Deutschland Diggler]

Ken Holland needs to get his crystal ball checked.

 

[yukoner88]

Xavier rhymes with saviour

 

[Cloned]

I don't know how to feel. Someone tell me how to feel, so I can feel that way.

You should feel like an Oilers fan.

 

[LTIR]

Xavier > Jesper

 

[Frank the Tank]

We need more finishers to surround McDavid and Draisaitl. Hope this kid is can be that.

 

[Zaddy]

This was the guy I wanted the absolute least. Can't say I'm thrilled. Hope he proves me wrong because I don't see much upside with this player.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Seems like a really skilled player, I hope he continues to show good things.

 

[Giggleplex]

Not a bad pick actually.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I don't dislike the pick as I don't know anything about this guy. All I know is I got the same feeling when we traded the pick in 2015 when Barzal was still available

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Well what's done is done. I don't know much about this prospect and was hoping for one of the goalies, but last year I flamed the team for the Holloway pick and he shut me up real good. Hopefully this kid can prove me wrong.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Don’t know much of him honestly. Wanted a goalie but quickly read a few things about him, can’t hate the pick. We need ELC scoring in the coming years. Hopfully he’s in by year 3-4 of our “4 year window”

 

[boopronger]

Hate taking goalies first round so Im happy

 

[McMozesmadness]

Reminds me of Pageau. Upside is 3C

I can’t believe we passed on Wallstedt.

 

[CupofOil]

Well, he's an Oiler now so I'm rooting for him. Now it's time to check highlight vids because I have no idea who the F this kid is.
Hopefully this kid plus the 3rd makes Holland look like a genius 4-5 years from now.

 

[McDoused]

Kids gonna be the next claude giroux

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I don’t know anything so hopefully he pans out
