fun fact. he is supposedly going to Merrimack who's all time points leaders is Jim Vesey (father of Nolan Vesey......whom they just signed).

Not going to Merrimack anymore. Probably spends next year in USHL and commits to a college. Long term project for sure.

He reminds me an awful lot of a young Jeff Petry. I really like this pick. Super mobile for his size and a RHD.

 

[Digger12]

A bit of a draft faller if his CSB rankings are any idicator...was 55th on the CSB mid-season rankings, fell to 75th on their final rankings. Still, seems like a decent value draft pick for the 6th round.

 

[oilers'72]

Don't know anything about him but 6th round is a good area to take college bound players.

Quebec Remparts own his CHL rights. If he's not an NCAA commit, I wonder if we could send him through the Canadian Junior route.

6th round is where you take projects and this kid looks like a long range prospect

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I like the pick a lot. Took him 7th round in the mock.

So we got Kessel?

His name has a ring to it.

Don’t like this pick one bit.

Hahahaha OMG seriously... anyone picked at this round has a 5% chance of making it, this kid has some tools... you couldn’t do better... get real..

Based on the main prospects boards, people are saying we have a steal in Michael Kesselring

The more I research on him the more I like him. He's a project for sure, but man does he have some nice raw tools.

Edit: Just realized that video was already posted in here.

With Yamamoto and Kesselring we need one more player with a famous WWII surname to form an Axis Line. #wwiinerd

No we don’t. Draisaitl isn’t a famous WWII surname, which was my point.

Isoroku Yamamoto headed the Japanese fleet including the Pearl Harbor attack and Albert Kesselring was a German field marshall. There is no Draisaitl. Don’t ask me how I know this ****, lol.

Don't know much about him and didnt mind the pick. Thought we should have taken someone else but everyone on the prospect boards are really pumping his tires. Apparently we have a potential steal in this kid. Very long term project. I've learned to not doubt Keith Gretzky's drafting and am confident in what he does.

RELEASE: Oilers sign Kesselring to entry-level contract

Excited to see him in the Bake!

 

[KenLinsemanFanClub]

Nice to see him signed. Great size, excellent skating and right handed. His game seems to have progressed nicely and Dave Manson has been doing wonderful things for our D prospects in Bako. Lots of potential here.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Really looking forward to seeing him develop in Bako. IMO he is a future NHLer in the making.
