GDT: Young Stars Game 3! Oilers vs Jets 12:30 PM MT

[Spawn]

Here's my take on a minimalist GDT.

No McDavid, no Draisaitl, no Nurse

Can we win?

Stay tuned!

I'm actually surprised at how many quality prospects we have. I thought we weren't very deep after the big high round names. Pleasantly surprised. Today, we have a chance to have a better look at some of those kids.

 

[Mr Positive]

So no McDavid, Draisaitl, Nurse, or Laleggia? Those have been our 4 best players. At least Laurikainen is in net. He was awesome before

Christoffer, Winquist and Plazter have been very good too

 

[s7ark]

Unless Laurikainen stands on his head the Oilers should lose this one. Probably badly.

Doubtful. Winnipeg lost bad to Vancouver who we destroyed. Still think we have this

Im guessing guessing that the Jets prospects show up feeling they have something to prove considering they were considered the favorites with the most depth prior to the Tournament. Could be a tough game for our kids but a great chance to show they deserve a longer look.

Slepyshev is getting his third game. I wonder if he is out for the Golden Bears game.

We had McDavid, Drai, Nurse and Laleggia in against Vancouver. Winnipeg has good prospects and haven't won at this tournament yet. I expect them to come out playing hard.

We'll see how it goes.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Any clue of the WPG roster?

 

[SK13]

There are a lot of higher end junior players on that roster and that's basically what the Jets team is too (with better prospects).

I don't think the Oilers are favored but I don't think it's a huge gap.

 

[Quinteoilers]

This is the way it should be. The 4 guys not playing have separated themselves and are going to the main camp. It gives the Brass another look at the "other" players. To see who else will get an invite to the main camp.

 

[LaGu]

We should lose. Doesn't WPG have one of the best prospect pools in the league?

Even if they have disappointed so far this is an excellent chance to go back home with a good feeling (no one in WPG gives a crap about the players we're resting).

 

[Uchiha]

Draisaitl is playing. Guess I'm watching this one lol

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

Oilers are about to get dusted. Jets players probaly got torn a new one and uber motivated to win now. And we dont have any of the big 3 and even Laleggia our second best D is out

Hopefully Eetu closes the door and Platzer brings it

 

[Digger12]

Hmm, that's a bit weird. Last minute issue with Chase, perhaps?

lol nobody is getting "torn a new one" at this ****ing tournament.

Oilers twitter confirmed for me, Chase out, Draisaitl in.

 

[s7ark]

Perhaps. Or maybe they want to see Drai on the wing? Definitely odd.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Hmm, that's a bit weird. Last minute issue with Chase, perhaps?

His ego is probably still hurt

 

[Uchiha]

He's playing on the RW too something Mclellan said he'd look at considering how good he is on his backhand.

 

[Digger12]

Stauffer confirms Draisaitl is in, Chase out due to injury.
