Double over age BCHLer (now in college)

lol! I thought those were over once MacGregor was gone.

Waste of a pick but whatever its a 7th.

 

[McDNicks17]

0/5.

Not big enough.


But seriously, they probably saw him a decent bit while scouting Nick Ellis.

Might as well roll the dice with a 7th.

 

[The Nuge]

Another BIG dman. Hopefully a few can pan out

Haha my thoughts exactly.

Hey double overager just means two years closer to the NHL right??

After the Paigin pick last year I'll give Chia the benefit of the doubt for the 7th rounders, but this seems like a bad pick with Quenneville, Kuznetsov and Sokolov still out there.

 

[Dempsey]

Loved most of the other Oilers pick, can't say the same here. Likely a future ECHL player IMO. But hey it's the seventh round.

It's very possible all three of those guys go undrafted. If that's the case, I could see a guy like Quenneville getting a prospect camp invite.

Kyle Bigos 2.0?

All 7th rounders can be described as that.

Was just going to say this. Wouldn't have minded taking a chance on Kuznetsov though.

 

[McMozesmadness]

It's the 7th round. I will trust Chia.

With that said, there are some nice players still available.

I hope so. I could see Quenneville having a rise like Hicketts, would love for the Oil to jump all over that.

Weird draft, man. Kinda reminds me of the 2009 Oil draft.

^Stu would be proud!! the difference here is that this guy was taken where he was supposed to be taken....if Stu was still here, he'd have taken him with our last pick in the 3rd round!

This better not be aimed at Pool Party just because their names are similar

Nemo and Desh.

Our 2016 twin towers.

Will they fare better than the Slovakian twin towers?

Very true. But at least with some 7th round picks there's reason to believe there's pro potential there. That's not the case here. But, like I said, I love the Oilers' draft today. Every one of their first five picks were players who I liked heading into the draft.

 

[Kalost]

7th rounder so unlikely to be an NHLer no matter who we took, but after Paigin i'll keep some hope for this guy :p

Would've liked Ronning instead.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Would've liked Ronning instead.

I think the plan, as long as Chiarelli is GM, is to take an overager in the 7th round. Then quickly determine the next season if he's worth investing in.
