The world juniors are well underway and I will track the four Oilers prospects that are in the tourney.
The Condors have a week of offensive explosion. The breaking news of the call ups of both Yamamoto and Lagesson heading to the big club, as well as Hebig returning the AHL after a stint in the ECHL.
If you have a chance to tune in to our weekly podcast, Oilersnation Radio recently you will be able to hear my hot and cold performers of the week. My picks will almost always come from this update. Stay tuned!
Some players aren’t listed because we’re not sure where they will land playing wise, so you will see them added and noted, in the future.
