<p>The Edmonton Oilers are no different, with their <a href="https://www.nhl.com/oilers/news/release-oilers-to-host-17-prospects-for-development-camp">camp running from Wednesday through Friday</a> this week, albeit with a bit of a different look. While years past have seen the Oilers have on-ice sessions at Rogers Place, all of this year&#8217;s activities will be off-ice.</p>
<p>There are 17 Oilers prospects rolling into town this week, headlined by defenceman Beau Akey and forward Sam O&#8217;Reilly, the two most recent top players taken by the team. The rest of the prospects from the 2023 and 2024 draft classes will be in town, too, beyond 2024 second-round pick goaltender Eemil Vinni.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a full look at the players in camp, and how they joined the Oilers:</p>
