For those who don’t subscribe to the The Athletic, Pronman has us number 1 for U23 cores.
Here’s what he had to say:
Farm Ranking: No. 9
Core: Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Philip Broberg, Evan Bouchard, Jesse Puljujarvi, Dmitri Samorukov, Tyler Benson, Raphael Lavoie, Kailer Yamamoto, Caleb Jones
Key additions: Philip Broberg, Raphael Lavoie
Key subtractions/graduations: Darnell Nurse
I would tell Oilers fans the future is bright, but I don’t think they’d believe me, and I wouldn’t blame them. Regardless, they have the clear best young core of players, headed by the best player in the game in McDavid, with Draisaitl being among the very best as well. Beyond that, they have a top 10 farm system, including two top-end defense prospects in Bouchard and Broberg.
