I'm on board with the AP track. Keep him in the minors this year, give him a 9 game stint at the NHL level next year, then back down to the OHL. Full time in 15-16.
No. He can't go to OKC though, so I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the NHL
It's really too bad he wasn't born just a few months earlier. That solves the whole "9 game" then to AHL issue.
Let him develop/fill out his frame until hes 20. Don't rush this guy, hes our only hope on D
Darnel Nurse will be an NHLer next year.
He almost made it this year, he was heartbroken when he didn't make it and with his work ethic he is out there right now, lifting daily, training hard, and doing everything he can to wear an Oiler uniform next year.
I doubt there is anyone out there who is working harder than that boy right now.
This. If he earns the spot, who cares how old he is
I'm genuinely happy to see that so many people agree with me.
Yeah, his parents should have conceived earlier. That wouldve fixed this whole thing.
