When we last spoke, the world of hockey was grinding to a halt. I had reached out to a few media types around the world who had covered specific @Edmonton Oilers prospects over the truncated seasons, but only was able to garner a Raphael Lavoie profile (You can read that here)
With the future of the 2020-21 or 2021 (for most leagues) season very much up in the air, Uncle Ken has been hard at work signing contracts with many European clubs. The players have been playing now for a couple of weeks, so we will take this week to catch you up on all the stats. Next Monday you will be able to tune in to see what the players have done over the previous week and the updates will now be a Monday property.
Side note for those of you who are reading the update for the first time.
While it’s a prospect update, not all players are specifically prospects in the traditional sense of the word. Some are merely players of which we own the rights to, and some are older players who I think people would like to follow along with.
Updates are current as to the time of publish (if they’re playing in a game when it’s published, I won’t include that)
