Aight.

[Joey Moss]

Right handed center.. 21 years old, 46 points in 37 games at Michigan.

Had good numbers in the USHL in his draft year as well.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Looks like the plan is some more "pro-ready" prospects. Hopefully this kid has some game.

 

[CycloneSweep]

He had a good year this year but had less points than Cagguila had in his last season.
Played on the same team has Quinn Hughes so that gives me a hint that we at least were drafting Hughes a bunch and saw what we liked with him.
A 3rd round pick is a massive overpay but thats just Oilers things.

Big-10’s leading scorer. Definitely has game at the college level. Wonder if the Oil are going to try to get him to leave college for the pro ranks.

Flyers fan here.

I have to assume he told the Flyers he wasn't signing because of our logjam of prospects and young NHL centers.

It sucks to see him go. A good prospect. He has a chance to be pretty good.

I don’t really see it as an overpay. I’d trade a 3rd all day for another Caggiula.

I mean I am not very high at all on Caggiula so that could be why lol (I think he is a 4th liner)

Agreed, Oilers who have been drafted in the 3rd round and played a decent chunk of games for are team are as follows:

Slepy, Khaira, Mike Comrie and Danny Syvret

Thats four players going all the way back to Comrie's draft year in 1999. Thirds are a shot in the dark, especially on this team.

Edit: Whoops I missed Zach Stortini

Not many 4th liners with 10 goals in a bad season - he also started really poorly but I think he’s come along the last 30 games or so.

 

[McRobbiezyg]

we definitely have a shortage of right handed offensive players and the additions of rattie and bear, its really shown how much we need them

 

[soothsayer]

I wasn't aware that teams are able to still make deals, even for unsigned players. Neat.

 

[CycloneSweep]

He has the ability to put up points but his play away from the puck is really bad. He is bigger though and I know little about this guy but who knows.

 

[GKJ]

From our perspective, it seems the Flyers weren't as high on his top 6 potential. And with the season he is having, he might want to turn pro and I don't think the Flyers feel they could give him chances that other teams may be able to give him.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I wasn't aware that teams are able to still make deals, even for unsigned players. Neat.

All 31 teams can, but players acquired aren’t eligible for the playoffs.

Deals can be made whenever except during the holiday break.
All the trade deadline means is that the players aren't eligible for playoffs.

The trade deadline is just a deadline for players to be eligible for playoffs

[Apathetic]

Interesting note: he had mono in his freshman year, then had to miss part of his sophmore year due to not completing enough credits in his freshman year (due to mono). Also read that he was cut from his high school hockey team, if nothing else it certainly appears that he had the drive to be a pro.

He seems to have progressed stats wise, which is a promising sign. Had a better junior season than Caguila.

If Chia was looking to get more developed talent over picks I think he has done pretty well here. If we had a 3rd rounder that was tracking as well as Marody I think you would be pretty happy. Only issue is him becoming a free agent if he stays in school.

 

[CycloneSweep]

He looks incredibly slow.

 

[PaPaDee]

Seems like a decent gamble if they're able to get him signed.

 

[Senor Catface]

He has the ability to put up points but his play away from the puck is really bad. He is bigger though and I know little about this guy but who knows.

If that's the case, why would it be a massive overpayment?

I was wondering why the Flyers would let him go
seems like a decent prospect

 

[Canovin]

Starting to think Chia doesn't trust our development team and prefers to have another team develop the prospects and trade for them

 

[CycloneSweep]

If that's the case, why would it be a massive overpayment?

Cause a 3rd for a guy who was pretty recently drafted in the 6th round?
