Prospect Info: HFOil Top 20 Oilers Prospects 2018 (Poll #7)

yeh... Draisaitl the sniper... His shot is worse than McDavids. RNH now has a better shot than both.

Yet both players have more goals in each of the past two seasons than any season of RNHs career. Nuge probably has the best wrist shot coming off the rush. But in terms of overall shooting, Drai and McDavid are both comfortably ahead of Nuge.

Anyone have The Athletic who would tell us the Oilers’ prospects who are listed among the top-50 drafted prospects?

It should be pretty obvious. Bouchard and Yamamoto are locks, and anyone else isn’t likely. Unless you’re wondering where they’re ranked

Yeah, I assumed those were our only top-50 prospects but I wondered where they placed.

Nuge was working on his onetimer last season, hopefully he continues to improve on that area of his game. IMO Nuge may have the best wrister, but the others are able to score in more ways. IMO Nuge is quite good at deflections too.

Hopefully all three of them keep working on their scoring. If RNH spends a large part of his season with McDavid at ES, and the top PP unit gets figured out again there is no reason Drai and RNH shouldn't be pushing 30 (or more). I'll be happy if Connor can hit 40 again.

I honestly don't know if Yamamoto is held in that high regard by outside pundits.

I mean he was selected 22nd overall and is smallish and hasn't lit it up in his short stint in the NHL. I'm honestly wondering just how highly he's actually thought of by those that "unbiasedly" rank prospects... if there is such a thing.

I missed the vote but would have voted Skinner again. Everyone’s allergic to voting goalies apparently. I’d have him and Rodrigue both pretty high. That could be team Canada’s goalie tandem at next years world juniors.

Skinner isn’t even eligible he’s a 98

Skinner isn’t even eligible he’s a 98

He has another year of junior eligibility.

“Whatever they decide I’m happy with and I’ll be working as hard as I can no matter where I am. If it’s playing pro I’m super excited. I’ll take all the experience I’ve learned and keep growing.” Stuart Skinner after signing his ELC
