I voted for Klefbom.

For me it was between him Marincin and Khaira.

I pose this question to start discussion.

If you could only keep one of Marincin or Klefbom. Who do you keep and why?

 

[BarDownBobo]

It'll be between Marincin and Klefbom. IMO, Marincin has a higher ceiling.

 

[KlefDown]

Kleffy <3

 

[rboomercat90]

Kleffy <3

How are you ranking these prospects? Is it by ceiling or by who you think will be ready to contribute to the big club the soonest?

 

[KlefDown]

I'm considering both, but I'm a little Klefbom biased soo

Klefbom is hotter than Marincin.

Marincin for me. IMO Klefbom's ceiling is a bit higher (potential #2 vs potential #3) but he has suffered so much injuries that he carries a lot bigger risk than Marincin.

 

[KlefDown]

Klefbom is hotter than Marincin.

yeah that too <3

 

[oilinblood]

Marincin is so smooth and calm and will fill in that huge frame. Beast

 

[Bangers]

Chose Marincin. While I think Klefbom has more physical talent, his tendency to get injured may prevent him from fully reaching his potential - he's already lost a lot of development time. Marincin has been pretty healthy thus far.

 

[McArthur]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that picked yakimov. in my mind, marincin isn't really a prospect anymore.

 

[Oilception]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that picked yakimov. in my mind, marincin isn't really a prospect anymore.

I wouldn't really consider him a prospect either but he is in the poll so he got my vote!

It's close with him and Klefbom. I just like Marincins game a lot

 

[oilinblood]

Thats also why marincin gets 3rd place for me. As far as i am concerned he has already proven to have the ABILITY to log big pressure minutes in the NhL for a good chunk of time. I dont think there is any doubt that he is ahead of Klef at this point so he has to be higher.
Klef is next
Yakimov after
Then it gets interesting

 

[Spawn]

I like Marincin's upside more than I like Klefbom's. More well rounded. I don't think Klefbom will ever be anything more than strictly a second pairing shutdown guy.

I think Marincin has more of a two-way game and is a more cerebral player.

 

[s7ark]

I went Klefbom because I think he's got a higher upside. His 1st pass is already near tops on the team and he's younger than Marincin. Tough call between the two though.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Marty. He's a tall glass of limeade on a hot summers day.

 

[Eirhead*]

Marincin, though i'd like to see more of both first. But hockey is a 5-man game in all zones and Marincin is clearly stronger in the offensive.

 

[TheBusDriver]

Marincin AIAEC

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Marincin.

I'm pretty sure he's my new favourite Oiler.

 

[Klimando Kostani]

Could go either way here. Marty has proven a little more but Oscar has the higher upside.

I think they are both going to be better than Ferrence by the end of the year though and at a quarter of the cost.. Hoping I'm right and a Ferrence buy out or miracle trade for picks happens.

He doesn't have a no trade clause does he?

 

[Tom Brady]

Klefbom.

 

[dustrock]

Overall I'd think Klefbom's ceiling is higher and he's got a good strong NHL frame, but I voted Marincin because he's farther along right meow.

Yeah he does have a ntc. He's going to be here until his deal is done. And as a bottom pair guy that's ok.

 

[McGlassbangers]

He is the only player on the team with NTC. Not just limited, it's full no trade clause.

Oh well, we need his leadership.

 

[Klimando Kostani]

Yeah he does have a ntc. He's going to be here until his deal is done. And as a bottom pair guy that's ok.

I'm hoping he gets pushed right off the depth chart at LD because he was brutal last year. Maybe he'll look better this year as we have more support and natural development and all that.

That said I'm hoping that natural development has us sending Ference looking for a job by the end of the season.

I agree though without him our D doesn't have much experience and leadership unless someone takes the reins which eventually Darnel Nurse should do but not for 2-3 years.
