Prospect Info: 2018-19 Oilers Prospects Thread III

[dem]

Craigs list looks pretty much like mine would look..

Maksimov isn't even close. I would bet on him being sent to the ECHL at some point this year.

 

[fireantz]

I find a Top Ten list irrelevant! More importantly I look at organizational depth. I see a goaltender who is moving to a point where he replaces someone on our roster. I see at least six dmen who can project to replace roster players who need to be paid or replaced in the near future. McD and Drai are here long term. Can anyone project confidently who will be playing forward here in two or three years. Hopefully Yamo Benson Maksimov and Lavoie have positive arrows this season, to that end.

Not surprised that Logan Day and Cameron Hebig aren't on anyone's top 10 list.

I didn't watch much of the Condors this season. How did these two fair in their rookie debuts?

Stat wise both had decent years.

Day- 7G 27A 34Pts
Hebig- 11G 18A 29Pts

Both played down on the depth chart but looks to me both had good seasons..."stat wise"

Fill us in, if some ppl out there had a good look at them this past season. We don't see/read much around here on these two.

Logan Day is a really hard working kid. A bit older at 24. Don't think he will ever be an NHL player but could have a very solid vet like NHL career.

Hebigs year started pretty good and fell off. He didn't get used that much but that's ebcause he was pushed down the linup by Currie and stronger forwards

 

[Finster8]

Button's list for what it's worth. I guess he's changed his tune on Bouchard?

McLeod's game has always been 2way, he is perfect for the AHL, big strong C that can flourish on the PK and still get you 50 pts plus. He can skate well for a big guy and will do well next season. He will develop in the AHL and could be 3C in a couple of years.

 

[McDNicks17]

 

[Skolman]

Not my kind of music, but he's pretty damn good

 

[McDNicks17]

Looking like a young Andy Sutton out there.

This is an article on Yamamoto from June but I didn't see anyone post it:

Kailer Yamamoto’s journey from Spokane Chiefs to NHL has been ‘a whirlwind, a struggle at times, but a lot of fun’

This was particular nice to hear:

"The team in Bakersfield was probably the closest team I’ve been on. They were awesome,” said Yamamoto, who was one of the two 19-year-olds on a team mostly composed of men in their mid-20s. “Everytime you walk into the rink you’ve got a smile on your face because there’s 25 other guys just smiling. I had a phenomenal time.”

When you create an AHL environment like that, players are less likely to see it as some sort of punishment when they are sent down. Definitely need that if the organization is to follow Holland's development philosophy.

Guess he told them he wasn’t going to sign. Disappointing but at least they recouped some value.

A shame really. Thought he was developing nicely and was just what we needed but the depth is pretty good at this point. I guess a push of a sixth rounder is better than nothing but 3 years of development gone for very little in return.

The oilers did very little to develop this player.

 

[Aerchon]

The oilers did very little to develop this player.

They picked him. I'm sure they spent as much or more than any other team would have.

I think it sucks that they get a depth pick that is developing nicely and he bails.

Karma for Schultz I guess but I really want that loophole gone.

It’s not really a loophole at all, CHL players can do the exact same thing and be a UFA in the same timeframe if they want. It just seems to happen a lot more with NCAA guys.

The Oil have a lot of solid looking prospects ahead of him in the system. As a 21 year old D I think the Pens system would look way more promising so no big surprise. They spent a 6th and got one back.

So a player can choose to play in the CHL? I thought the Oilers had control of CHL players. Where in college I thought the choice was the players.

Academic versus a junior league... No?

The NHL team has ‘control’ of a player drafted out of the CHL for two years after the draft. But the player can absolutely refuse to sign with the team. After two years the player will either re-enter the draft or will become a UFA depending on their age. It happened to the team with Rieder the first time around, they just happened to trade him to a team who he signed with.

With how questionable JP's future is, I really hope Yamo pulls through and has a good season in the AHL.

Jarrett Stoll was originally a Flames draft pick but refused to sign. Went back into the draft and the Oilers grabbed him.

While Matthew Lombardi was an oilers pick went unsigned and was then drafted by Calgary

 

[LaGu]

Anyone watching/following the juniors tournament this weekend/next week?

I know Broberg is playing, anyone else?

Raphael Lavoie and Olivier Rodrigue are as well.

I have grave concerns for both Yamamoto and pizza boy.

 

[Aceboogie]

At this point, a solid but not great prospect.

But I swear to god, if he turns into another Gustafsson or Osterle lol
