Another week in the books for the Oilers prospects and property across the world.
In Europe, Denezhkin, Puljujarvi, Siikanen, Berglund and Slepyshev all had a great week overseas.
Meanwhile, in the AHL, the Condors are really feeling the depletion of the rosters (even if Granlund, Cave and Bouchard did come back down this week):
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!
