Massive achievement. Shaefer hits another quality development benchmark. Will be fun to watch how his heavy game fits into the team and tournament. Next on the draft+1 list will be an extended Dub playoff run in Seattle.

Congratulations to Reid Shaefer. Time to visit his Draft Thread again and throw shame on some of the funny, negative declarative opinions made on his selection.

Any idea where he slots in the lineup?

I see 5 local boys combined. Nice to see.

Also had no idea Dylan Guenther was released to team Canada. Thought last I checked he was doing pretty well in Arizona.

He kind of reminds me of Corey Perry.

More Josh Anderson

Seems like a great kid who's having a great post draft year and I hope he has success on this stage.

Bob hyping the merchandise last night. Christmas bonus for Bob.

More Josh Anderson

Reminds me of Scott Hartnell but with a better shot who can score from distance.

I haven’t closely watched the juniors in years. Maybe this year will be the year. Interested in seeing the Bedard hype.

Good for the kid. Always nice when an Oilers pick is playing for Canada at the WJC. Always adds some juice to the event for me.

Or stop bamboozling you into believing our drafting is top notch and our prospects are great. How many years has Bob been doing that to you? I don't take pleasure in your perplexity and I insist Bob stop abusing your sensibilities.

Team Canada knows this too and wants the Canadian club’s fans to tune in

This is merit based tho, congrats kid

Kinda funny where a late 1st rounder makes Canada WJC team in the year of his draft and some complain that someone is complimentary.
Better to pump the tires of a guy and agent who are inciting problems like no one else in the org in 20 years. Thats the smart play

I expect good things out of him simply because he looked pretty decent last time.

Wright and Guenther are two others I'm curious to see. Guenther producing decently at NHL level and Wright has a big chip on his shoulder. Dropping in draft, being benched and going to the AHL. Seems like a guy with something to prove.

Thomas Milic makes the team and has been passed by twice in the NHL draft if I am not mistaken, why? He is not a cookie cutter 6'4 200 size wise goalie.

Good experience for Shaffer, imo you get just a wealth of experience in this tournament playing with the best players under pressure.

Good for Reid. Good for the Oilers scouting staff.
