The week that was with the Oilers system was a good one. Nugent-Hopkins’ injury has made way for Iiro Pakarinen to return to the NHL. I’m wondering if Oilers fans will have to start a JetsNationesque #FreeRattie for him to get a call to the big show and have his chance. In the WHL, Kailer Yamamoto is picking up steam, as well as fresh addition Cameron Hebig. Meanwhile in the ECHL, All-star Shane Starrett gives you a highlight three-pack this week.
