That holds especially true for former members of the Edmonton Oilers because they tend to be young men you get to know a bit along the way when you hang around the dressing room long enough.

Anton Lander’s California trip may be short based on his impressive offense since being sent down. Both men were leaders of another strong week for Oilers prospects across the worldwide prospect map. Let’s have a look. Photo…

The NHLN Notebook is a semi-regular feature of interesting hockey content from the past few days that doesn’t quite deserve its own article. Today’s post is all about protectin’ ya neck, being with the times and Vegas still has some work to do.
Should the Canucks be concerned about their top 5 pick last year, are the Leafs any good, is Paul Maurice’s job in jeopardy, the Flames looking ahead to the trade deadline, Oilers need to find consistency, Brandon Sutter is ill-suited for current role, a deeper look at Kris Russell as an Oiler, Patrick O’Sullivan, Las Vegas, concussion…
