WEEKEND UPDATE!
By Lowetide
7 years agoThe Edmonton Oilers took a chance on Tyler Benson at the 2016 Entry Draft. What kind of chance? Clearly a first-round talent (Corey Pronman had him No. 18), Benson had some injury issues that hurt his draft number. Benson was hurt again before main NHL camp and was unable to showcase his ability for Oilers fans, but is now healthy and beginning a very important season for him. How is it going?

Dylan Wells was well thought of heading into his draft year but struggled badly in 2015-16. It cost him a lot, as Edmonton grabbed him in the fifth round, No. 123 overall. Early days, but that pick looks inspired five starts into the OHL season.
