But you didnt need a larger sample size before you started calling him a bust lol.
Trade future draft picks. Why would you trade prospects who are showing good nhle post draft. That is rare for oiler prospects as most of us should know.
Bourgalt, Broberg, Holloway, Savoie and Petrov are all showing good and shouldnt be traded to get rid of a cap dump. It doesnt make any sense, good teams dont make moves like that.
Yeah I did. He has 53 GP in the AHL. His last 10 GP he has 9 points (0.9 PPG), and in his first 43 GP he has 19 points (0.44 PPG). So I'm actually using a sample size that is 4x larger.
Also, I'm not calling him a bust, he is a 2nd round pick, having some struggles in the AHL, this is to be expected. What I'm saying is that he isn't a prospect to get super hyped up about, as he isn't doing all that much in the AHL yet.
I would agree that Bourgalt, Broberg, Holloway, Savoie and Petrov are all showing well though. Broberg and Holloway successes should be treated differently than Bourg, Savoie and Petrov successes though. Having success in the AHL is a LOT different than having it in the CHL/NCAA. As an example, Lavoie in his draft+1 had 82 points in 55 GP (1.49 PPG) and Bourgault currently has 43 P in 25 GP in his draft+1 (1.72), both in the same league and only a few years removed from one another. Yes, Bourgault is having the better year, but he isn't light years ahead of where Lavoie was at the same age, and Lavoie isn't blowing the doors off the AHL right now.
