GDT: YSC Game 1 | Oilers Rookies vs Jets Rookies | September 16 2022, 5:00PM | EdmontonOilers.com

[CycloneSweep]

I only caught the latter half of the third. Any stand outs for anyone?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

My sleeper for #4C. Big, right shot, can skate and has just enough ability to create a little offense.

I'd rather he play most of the season in Bakersfield to get used to the pro game there. He is a smart player that has a good shot and is a very good passer.

 

[RipsADrive]

When that start?

7:30 according to that other thread.

Ours started half an hour late though.

Edit: Oh it's probably Pacific time. 8:30

 

[McNuge]

Borgault could very well make the team out of camp... Best player on the ice IMO. Holloway looked great too. I like the Hall & Eberle comparisons, very fitting.

Kesselring for me. Bourgault was good as well. Lots of players that had decent but unspectacular 3rd periods (the only period that I was able to watch).

Nice. Got time to grab some grub

Hamblin and Kesselring are seasoned pros so they should standout. Broberg I thought might have had too much pro experience for this tourney but he just turned 21.

XB and Holloway looked better as the game progressed.

 

[TheNumber4]

XB
Kesselring
Holloway

Looked good tonight.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Arvid Holm can go HOME LOL

 

[Tarus]

Well, that was a fairly typical low intensity, discombobulated and chaotic prospect game. Not much you can really take from these games considering how far from a real pro game this type of hockey emulates, but still nice to have some hockey to watch again

Bourgault was easily the most talented player on either team, Holloway looked like a pro who would be more comfortable in a pro-style game than a game shinny, Shaeffer forgets he's playing hockey when the puck isn't on his stick, and Petrov managed to be completely invisible(was wondering if he was even playing at times, and I was specifically looking for him).

Based on how he played last year at camp and how he played last season, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bourgault forced his way on the team. I’d love if Woodcroft would just try him with Hyman and Draisaitl in pre season.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Holloway looks like he wants that first or second line spot with how prepared he looks.

 

[dssource]

Team played well. Liked XB and Holloway.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Hamblin would be a for sure NHL guy if he was a bit taller

Sergei Samsonov says hi... One inch shorter than Hamblin according to Wikipedia.

Schaefer was a long shot when drafted imo. Lord on his fame he has to work on. Reminds me a bit of McLeod but not as skilled.

I’m not saying you can’t be small but I just think his size will 100% prevent him. I think he is going to be a great guy to have in the AHL as a mainstay.

Very VERY early overreaction observation but Schaefer looks like a plug. Having never seen him play, this is my first viewing of him and it was not inspiring. I can see why so many here (who have probably seen him play) were against the pick if tonight's game is any indication of what he will be.

He's a project player no doubt.

It'll be interesting to see how he does further into camp when things are more structured.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

overreaction lineup:

Kane - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Hyman - Draisaitl - Bourgault
Holloway - RNH - Yamamoto
Janmark - McLeod - Ryan

Nurse - Bouchard
Kulak - Barrie
Broberg - Ceci

Campbell
Skinner

Expectations might be too high due to the 32nd pick of the draft being a first rounder. He’s more or less your average second rounder. That said the few times I noticed him he tried being too cute trying to toe drag at the blue line, but I do like that he shows creativity so it gives hope for development. Big kid who plays an aggressive game, lets see how he looks after another WHL season and two full AHL Seasons.

That's a bit harsh on him, but it might end up being accurate.

The Oilers didn't just draft him for what he is though, but what his game could evolve into. I suspect he's been playing the junior sniper game in the WHL(floating around waiting to get setup), and will probably have to learn how to play a grinding game that takes advantage of his size and shooting game at the pro level(much like Lavorie). He's probably a longshot to make the team within 3 years as a result.

We'll see what happens I guess.

Oh, for sure. Just an observation based on this one game.
Big guys usually take longer to develop anyway so he's a long term project and patience will be needed. Seeing Lambert flying all over the ice didn't help matters

Nevermind, I think the Jets took Lambert before the Oilers anyway.

 

[FlameChampion]

Very nice games from Borgault and Holloway. Kesselring always leaves me impressed.

I thought Lambert looked pretty good on the jets. Would of been nice for Oilers to draft him and find a different way to dump Kassian.

But hard to take too much from these games. In any event, nice that hockey is back.

They did only because Edmonton traded back from 28 to 32 or something. Jets picked him one pick after Edmontons original.

What was the final score?

 

[FlameChampion]

What was the final score?

3-2 . Oilers win

 

[Oilers in NS]

What was the final score?

3-2

I gotta watch again tomorrow. Missed most of 1st and shooting darts in garage with a few people. I was hoping for a dominating performance from Broberg. What’s everyone’s grade of him tonight.?
