Prospect Info: 2018-19 Oilers Prospects Thread III

[LaGu]

Philip Broberg's playing right now in the CHL. 1-0 Skelleftea. Broberg a +1, Beglund with an assist. It seems like Broberg's getting a bit more trust from the coach. He's played the 2nd most of any player on Skelleftea so far.

Last game his ice time among the D was the highest until the 3rd, then it went down (to 4th I think). Still they are all normally pretty close in TOI, not the same differences we see in NHL.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He got pulled after saving like 30 shots again. The team in front is playing horrible. Looked like a pity pull. Still 9 goals on him in 2 games...not a good look for the kid.

It’s 2 games...

I’m sure at one point price gave up 9 goals in 2 games in the WHL.

Konovalov sat today, team played well and only allowed 1 goal. He might have lost his starter job for the time being

Schwartz ftw!

 

[Juzmo]

Markus Niemeläinen with a great showing today in the season opener with Ässät. Speedy for such a big guy, while also protecting and handling the puck well. Based on the practice games and today I'd say that with a bit of extra polish he'll be on to bigger and better things after this season in Liiga.

We still have him?

We still have him?

Have until June 1st, 2020 to sign him.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Broberg has his first career SHL game today.

 

[GrinningBuddha]

Broberg doing things a defenseman has no right doing. Would have been a play of the year candidate if he beat the goalie.

Holy shit.

Amazing play

 

[CycloneSweep]

Konovalov pulled again.
3 games 6gaa, 0.846s%
Abysmal start for the kid has only see 78 shots too. Hopefully it's just nerves or something but these 3 games aren't painting him in a positive light in the slightest.

Especially cause they are 2-3 and they have only lost games in which he started

His backup has a 0.953 and a 1.36gaa...

Trash goalie

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Trash goalie

Using a 3 game sample size to form an opinion is always the best way to do things

 

[CycloneSweep]

Other goalie played again today, allowed 2 goals. Has won all his starts. Konovalov needs to bounce back extremely fast or he might only get 10-15 starts this year and lost his starter job

Seems like Schwartz sent his goalie videos to MacT and he’s forcing Konovalev to watch them

I wouldn’t be surprised.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Lokomotiv lost 3-2 today, and for the first time this season, Konovalov wasn't in net for the loss

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Lavoie got 1 goal + 1 assist (primary) in his 1st game of the season.

Broberg plays today.

 

[Skolman]

 

[Del Preston]

Konovalov came on in relief today and stopped 12/12 in 41 minutes.

 

[McDNicks17]

Rodrigue won his first start back in the Q.

26 saves on 28 shots in a 3-2 OT win.

MacT got fired.

 

[Aerchon]

MacT got fired.

Crazy.

I'm torn between admiration that the team would send such a strong message that losing is unacceptable. It's something the Oilers needed more of... Especially during Mac Ts time. He really set us back.

And I actually feel a bit bad for him. I wonder if he has a guaranteed contract with them like in the nhl. If so, then no worries, I'm sure he will be fine. But if not, that's rough. It was a big gamble to go overseas only to get axed.

Sympathy for what it's worth, he better not be employed by the Oilers ever again in any capacity.

The KHL fires coaches very early in the season quite often so it wasn't very surprising
