Prospect Info: 2020-2021 Prospects Thread

Interesting they have Bouch below both Broberg and Holloway. My impression is he is in a unique position this season to be able to launch his career and never look back, assuming he plays to his potential. These rankings aren't just for this season but Bouch has the highest ceiling and earliest impact as far as I can tell. <shrug>

Bouchard continues to get underrated everywhere. Pronman had him at a mid-level NHL potential with "below average" puck skills and "below average" skating in his most recent rankings of NHL team's U-23 players.

I just don't see what all the doubters are seeing, I would have said he actually has above average puck skills with average skating. His problems are mostly with d-zone reads and urgency, but it isn't caused by any kind of skills deficit. To date I'm not sure I've seen anyone really be bullish on Bouchard at all in prospect media which just doesn't make sense to me because he has a rare skill set that teams fight each other over.

I seem to recall that he had a decent amount more hype around draft and D+1. Now it’s as if he’s a disappointment since he hasn’t anchored a top pair by now, like the other D men taken around his spot in that draft…oh, wait…

Is there a thread for the rookie camp/training camp or have the Oilers released a roster of who is invited? I see the Pats have announced that Drew Englot is a free agent invite by the Oilers.

Forgot about the OHL preseason starting up.

Tullio was also 0/1 on the dot.

I guess he's on the wing with that low amount of draws.

I guess he's on the wing with that low amount of draws.

He was listed as a center but 3 other centers took the bulk of the draws. On his goal there were 3 centers.

Interesting that they had him on the left side even though he's a righty.

Oshawa down 1-0 to Hamilton after 1 period. Ty Tullio is in the game.

Goal and Assist for Ty Tullio today in their preseason game.
Also was named captain of the Oshawa Generals

 

[oilers'72]

Ty Tullio had a goal, was -3 with 4 SOG, got called for unsportsmanlike conduct and was 7 of 13 on faceoffs. Hamilton won 5-3.

Tullio was playing LW again, but beside Brett Harrison(Bruin's 2021 3rd rounder).

You'll probably see that combo a lot this season.

Any news if Konovalev is coming over to north america for some ahl starts?

He signed a contract with the Oilers awhile ago. I’d say the chances are pretty good.

I find Pronman’s hate of Broberg and Bouchard quite odd. Has it always been this way?

I think he had Broberg ranked 8th going into the draft if memory serves, so I don't think he has always hated him.

However, I don't think I've ever seen him give much of a positive spin on Bouchard.

He was fairly high on Broberg after he was drafted IIRC, and he had an up and down season. I don't think hes ever been a fan of Bouchard.

They do seem pretty low on his U23 rankings.
