The World Juniors are over. For the Oilers prospects, Broberg comes away with the bronze and for Lavoie and Rodrigue, gold.
The hockey continues for the rest of the prospects with a couple of definitely not prospects (Manning, and Granlund) joining the Condors for the foreseeable future.
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.
