In a results oriented business, Iiro Pakarinen is delivering at a level that will get him noticed. One of the major offseason wins in ‘under the radar’ procurement, he should be a late winter recall based on progress.

L Vladimir Tkachev is 26GP, 9-16-25 for the year.

Notes:

Insane week because pretty much all of the Oilers’ junior kids did something.
Chase is starting to push it, this should be a fun follow for the rest of the campaign.
Houck woke from a slumber and had five points.
Leon Draisaitl is beginning to get comfortable, it should be noted he is playing a complete game down in junior. No sulker he.
Ben Betker has 9 points in the last two weeks, which borders on the impossible.
Marco Roy and Vladimir Tkachev appear to be having a hard time getting TOI on that loaded Rempart team.
