I'm positive there's going to be some errors at the start, so let me know if I'm missing anyone, including someone I shouldn't or small details like that.

I'll be fact-checking small things tomorrow, so if you have any suggestions, shoot them my way.

 

[guymez]

Great idea...I will be checking in on this often.

I commend you for taking this on.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Good job Senor who has the face of a cat!

 

[Seachd]

I guess I would just mention 2 players that are NHL UFAs, so aren't technically Oiler prospects (Tyrvainen and Roy).

 

[oiler-dude]

Apologies if this isn't the right spot, but:

Apologies if this isn't the right spot, but:

The perfect spot. And that sucks.

 

[Aceboogie]

Apologies if this isn't the right spot, but:

FFS. Of course. Ill bet shoulder injury

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

FFS. Of course. Ill bet shoulder injury

According to Lowetide, it was an "unfortunate" shot block. Think Matt Hendricks-like unfortunate.

 

[Caser]

Paigin is expected to miss about 2 or 3 weeks.

Looks whos leading the KHL in goals per game and 7th in scoring with less games played: http://www.eliteprospects.com/league.php?leagueid=KHL&season=2016

Maybe MacT can give him a call if he keeps it up. He certainly looked good when we thought we signed him.

 

[Senor Catface]

Updated.

Notables:

Yakimov 1 point in 4 games.
Paigin out until early October.

Found this article interesting. It's about former Peterborough Petes goalie Matthew Mancina requesting a trade (apparently he had a no-trade clause, I didn't think that existing in junior) because he felt he wouldn't get in enough starts splitting the games with Dylan Wells.

“Wellsy is a great goalie. He got drafted this past year and he deserves to be a starter,” Mancina said

While Wells had a disappointing sophomore season the Petes believe with more consistent playing time he'll fulfil the potential they saw in drafting him in the second round and the Edmonton Oilers saw in selecting him in June.

“We felt it was time to provide Dylan with the opportunity, along with our other goalies, to get more work,” Oke said.

Wells is one of the guys I'm most looking forward to seeing in Penticton and camp. All the reports from the bigger events he played in last year were good, he even beat out Carter Hart to start in the finals of the Hlinka, but he was terrible in league play. It sounds like he has all the tools to become a legit prospect, just a matter of if he can put it all together.

 

[the pen is mightier]

Not an Oilers prospect anymore, but Houck has an ATO with Colorado? I had hopes for that guy, hope he makes a go there.

I was a fan of his early on in his prospect days, but his offense really plateaued after the 13-14 season. PPG as a 20 year old is pretty forgettable. Not sure how well that will translate to professional hockey. Wish him the best though.

Matt Cairns has apparently been released by Muskegon of the USHL. Anyone have any idea where he could be headed next?

Thanks.

CHL maybe? Any idea why he was released?

 

[Petes]

No clue. He was one of only two NHL drafted players in their camp... Im thinking something must have went on behind the scenes.

Well that's probably not a good sign. Hopefully it somehow works out to be a positive.

Peterborough owns his CHL rights I believe. He's committed to Cornell though, so I can't see him going to the CHL unless he had a huge change of heart.

 

[Petes]

Hey guys, looks like Cairns is now listed on Fargo Force's 23 man roster for the current USHL season.
