The Gifted: Why Oilers prospect Raphael Lavoie is the shot...

 

[McDNicks17]

He must be buddies with Adam Fantilli, a 2023 draft eligible phenom. He played with him and his brother at Kimball Union this year. They're all committed to the Steel next season. So is Owen Power, a 2021 eligible D who scored at close to a PPG there last season as a 16 year old.

Damn. That team is going to be stacked.

Sucks that their season this year got canceled. Chicago was destroying the league. 41-7-1 with basically 60 more goals than the next team.

That kind of concerns me about this kid's development. They won't exactly be facing top end competition. That being said, what the hell do I know about the development of high end professional athletes?

Probably more than most people, but less than others.

Hey I've noticed no one has talked about our 7th rounder from last year, Maxim Denezhkin. He's doing really well in the MHL this year and he was great last year as well

It's the MHL, which is why no one's talking about it. People won't really talk about him till he starts playing in higher leagues.

I wonder how much good this Phase 2 of return to play is going to do for Stuart Skinner. As far as I’ve seen he’s still the only goalie at camp, so he’s had close to a month of getting all the reps with the NHL guys. That’s probably more on ice time with them than he’s had in all the camps he’s been to combined. Add that to the fact that he had a pretty good 2nd half with the Condors and he could be primed for a huge breakout next season.

Oilers defenceman prospect could be steal of 2018 NHL Draft class

Our Parayko perhaps?

They don't seem like comparables at all .

Parayko in his draft +1 was playing in the NCAA and put up 3.5 times the offense as Kesselring did in his draft +2.

That said he could for sure turn out, just don't see him as anything like Parayko

That said seeing what Marino is doing for Pittsburgh, you never know

I dont see the offensive upside that parayko has in Kesselring, but he could potentially make a solid 4/5 down the road if his development keeps up.

I would also like to point out Parayko wasn't drafted in his first year of eligibility, so this year of NCAA is the same progression time as Parayko's first year.

Funny thing looking at Marino's stats, he has kept his ppg around the same no matter what league he's played in, aside from a dip last year its all been pretty similar.

A bit of a relief to hear that his dad is from Canada and that he would like to sign with us. I have rated him highly from the word go and he has gotten taller and bigger since we drafted him.

 

[LTIR]

I said Parayko not because of offensive numbers but because of potential of getting a diamond in the rough. Both are big, mobile, right hand shot Dmen. There seems to be offense to Kesselring's game but he just hasn't focused on it yet.

I was high on Kesselring when he was drafted, and hoping he develops into an NHL player.

 

[Zaddy]

Can Lagesson even be considered a prospect anymore? He's 24 with three pro seasons under his belt and a total of 110 pro games in North America. For all intents and purposes he's a pro.

I guess it doesn't really matter what he's classified as, just struck me as odd to label him a prospect.

 

[McDNicks17]

Samo to the KHL officially confirmed now.

Makes sense. The AHL is up in the air right now and playing in the KHL could speed up his development. Apparently Hollands plan is to bring him back the following season, as the hope is he will be NHL ready

[McDNicks17]

Makes sense.

Anyone that can play somewhere other than the AHL should be for next season.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Holland has definitely made use of the European leagues to develop our prospects.

It'll be interesting to see if this does any better than throwing players in to the AHL.

 

[Dux917]

Think he's just getting a head start on the season in his home country - as the USHL looks to start its season a little late this year. Still expect him to come back to North America and play college hockey next season at Providence College.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Sounds like they are loaned to start and can be brought back over if wanted. Probably give them a few months of games in Europe and then back to the AHL
