Another week in the books for the prospects and players under Oilers control. For the players under control, the week was great, even if they may never come back.
The goalies in Bako absolutely let the team down and the whole week can be scrapped.
Meanwhile, Jesse and Anton both have stellar weeks.
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.
