It'll be an interesting summer. I don't think the organization anticipated Shane Starrett taking the reins in Bako this season. I'd expect that one of our younger goalies gets flipped.

Lots of high caliber goalies in the NHL are 6'2. It'd be silly to critique a goalie simply based on their height.

Samorukov looked like a stud during his AHL stint at the end of last season. Really happy to hear he is continuing his dominance this year. He has all the attributes to become a very effective 20+ minutes a night guy.
Do you see Bouchard playing full time next year? And if so, 1st PP time or maybe 2nd at best to start?

He should be in the AHL next season but will probably be forced into 2nd pairing and at least 2nd PP

Someone (I'm not sure who ) was on here earlier in year saying Starrett could make the Oilers. No one give the fella any credit. Gotta give that guy credit. Maybe we could hire him in our scouting department

Start at AHL. WE are ruining too many prospects by rushing them

I would like to hope he is in the AHL. Let him put up a solid year or two before calling him up. We don't have a shortage of dmen anymore

We have Persson, so I hope the plan is to start him on 3RD as opposed to Bouchard. He'll be 25 years old when the season starts and have two seasons of pro experience before arriving (while being one of the top SHL D in the league).
Watching Bouchard recently imo he needs another year in the OHL and then 1 in the AHL and then maybe the year after he can make it. Imo he is as far away as Caleb Jones was at the same age.
He's eligible for the AHL next year. Not sure why he would be going back to the CHL with the kind of stats he's putting
His defensive game looks super rough. That said with how well Bakersfield is doing, it might not be a terrible idea. I was thinking about the log jam at defense we have down there next year
Jones - Lowe
Lagesson - Bear
Day - Berglund
Manning - Bouchard
Persson - Samorukov
We have more guys than spots. One or Jones, Bear, Lagesson, Persson should be on the Oilers. Could get rid of Lowe and Manning too. Might have to trade a defender for a winger soon

How much of Bouchard's rough defensive game can be attributed to London's very passive defensive system?
I'd rather he cut his teeth against players his own size in a more proactive system in the AHL.

Fair enough. Then we need to move on from some defensive prospects next year.
Manning needs to go, Jones will make the big club... That leaves....
Lagesson - Bear
Lowe - Day
Samorukov - Berglund
Persson - Bouchard
Which could be fine. Lowe has one more year and has been an amazing captain, Day is worth resigning too.
I think what might end up happening is we will have to use Bear or Persson on the NHL roster too.
Joel Persson 1 G 1 A tonight in a 5-1 win.
Playing low minutes (below 15 mins), but I wouldn't read too much into that. Whenever Vaxjo is winning "comfortably" they drastically cut Persson's minutes.
Vaxjo has been playing better so the possibility for him coming over and finishing his season in the AHL is all but gone.

I think you're right. If we don't trade Benning, I can see him fighting with Bear or Persson for the third pairing RD.
He wants to come over.
I guess it depends on if he gets signed or not. If the Oilers don't sign him he'll probably not risk injury in TC.

I think Bear is a guy we'll see moved this summer. Persson and Bouchard are coming to fight for the same spots, and I think there's a good chance Logan Day gets an NHL deal this summer as well. Odds are one of Persson/Bouchard/Jones make the NHL roster as the 6/7 guy as well.
