Big week for the prospects, after the Thunder of the ECHL blow up when it comes to Oilers prospects.
A hat trick for Safin with seven points and Hebig having five himself.
Congrats going out to both Lavoie and Rodrigue for making the Team Canada world juniors team.
Congrats to all six #QMJHL players (and one alumnus)* who will represent Canada at the upcoming #WorldJuniors!

If you have a chance to tune in to our weekly podcast, Oilersnation Radio recently you will be able to hear my hot and cold performers of the week. My picks will almost always come from this update. Stay tuned!
Some players aren’t listed because we’re not sure where they will land playing wise, so you will see them added and noted, in the future.
