WEEKEND UPDATE!
By Lowetide
7 years agoWe are underway in Europe, exhibition games start in the NHL tomorrow night (!!!) and regular-season action is in the books for junior leagues. What’s up with Edmonton’s prospects? Let’s have a look.
OILERS ROOKIES (V GOLDEN BEARS)
- Drake Caggiula 2-0-2
- Tomas Soustal 1-1-2
- Jesse Puljujarvi 0-2-2
- Caleb Jones 0-2-2
- Patrick Russell 1-0-1
- Collin Shirley 1-0-1
- Braden Christoffer 1-0-1
- Joey Benik 0-1-1
- Lane Bauer 0-1-1
- Ethan Bear 0-1-1
- Ben Betker 0-1-1
- Matt Benning 0-0-0
- Jaedon Descheneau 0-0-0

- Chad Butcher 0-0-0
- Markus Niemelainein 0-0-0
- Kayle Doetzel 0-0-0
- Nick Ellis Win, 3.00 .885
Caggiula had chemistry with Puljujarvi and was the scoring star, but the big Finn was the main attraction. His size and speed make him impossible to ignore, and his skills are fantastic (as shown on the video).

Some very nice players on display, but as with the Golden Bears game, Penticton observers were caught waiting for the next Puljujarvi shift in both of his games. Among those who did show well (Benik, Ellis, Descheneau, Caggiula, Platzer) most were from the college procurement session this summer.
KHL
- C Bogdan Yakimov 8gp, 1-0-1 (10:22 per game)
- LD Ziyat Paigin 4gp, 0-0-0 (16:16 per game)
Yakimov has also played one game in the VHL (no points), implying he is not lighting up the KHL. Paigin has been injured since early in the season but should be back soon.
CZECH-2
- Miroslav Svoboda 2gp, 2.40 .918
