It was a fairly eventful week across the Oilers prospect pool. A major surge for the Bakersfield Condors over the last few weeks has the team on track for the postseason, and some of the junior defensemen are finishing strong. Let’s have a look at the week that was among Edmonton’s prospects. Photo by Mark Williams, all rights reserved.

  39. G Jonas Gustavsson 11gp, 2.68 .909 (three games this week: 1.000, .929 and .903)
  • David Musil was drafted in 2011 and had a terrific junior career. During 240 AHL games in the Oilers organization, he showed solid defensive play. His loan to another organization may give him a  chance to emerge as an NHL option for 2017-18.
  • Jaedon Descheneau showed off his skill this week, posting 1-1-2 and perhaps getting more regular work.
  • A quiet week for the Anton Lander line, but Joey Laleggia scored a big goal for the Condors.

NORFOLK ECHL

  1. RD Frankie Simonelli 41gp, 13-19-32 (3gp, 1-4-5 this week)
  2. L Joey Benik 23gp, 12-12-24 (3gp, 5-2-7 this week)

  5. R Jaedon Descheneau 26gp, 9-10-19 (AHL this week)
  6. LD Ben Betker 5gp, 3-2-5 (AHL this week)
  7. G Eetu Laurikainen 11gp, 3.77 .881 (DNP this week)
  • Joey Benik enjoyed a monster week. Five goals in a week is pretty fabulous at any level.

CHL

  1. RD Ethan Bear, Seattle Thunderbirds 64gp, 28-42-70 (3gp, 2-1-3 this week)
  2. LD Caleb Jones, Portland Winterhawks 60gp, 9-49-58 (4gp, 2-4-6 this week)
  3. RD Ryan Mantha, Niagara Ice Dogs 64gp, 17-40-57 (3gp, 1-2-3 this week)

  6. G Dylan Wells, Peterborough Petes 51gp, 3.14 .914 (three games: .897. 778 and .781)
  • The three defensemen at the top are finishing off tremendous junior careers. It’ll be fun to see how much these men impact the Condors depth chart in the fall.
  • Tough week for Dylan Wells, his Peterborough team is struggling badly.

BCHL

  1. Matthew Cairns, Powell River Kings 18gp, 2-14-16 (4gp, 0-0-0 in playoffs)

NCAA

  1. RC Tyler Vesel, Nebraska-Omaha 38gp, 13-21-33 (2gp, 1-0-1 this week)
  2. RD John Marino, Harvard 30gp, 2-10-12 (2gp, 0-1-1 this week)
  3. L Aidan Muir, Western Michigan 17gp, 2-8-10 (DNP this week)
  4. L Graham McPhee, Boston College 37gp, 1-7-8 (2gp, 0-0-0 this week)
  5. LD William Lagesson, UMass-Amherst 36gp, 2-6-8 (DNP this week)
  6. L Evan Campbell, UMass-Lowell 33gp, 1-4-5 (2gp, 0-1-1 this week)
  7. LD Vincent Desharnais, Providence 31gp, 2-1-3 (2gp, 0-0-0 this week)
  8. G Zach Nagelvoort, Michigan 13gp, 2.77 .924 (one terrific game this week)
  • Zach Nagelvoort had a terrific game this week, it is covered here.
  • With NCAA seasons winding down, it is possible we see some of these young men sign. William Lagesson is eligible to return to UMass-Amherst, but might be ready to turn pro. The Oilers would need to cull another LHD in Bakersfield to make it happen.

USHL

  1. RC Aapeli Rasanen, Sioux City Musketeers 31gp, 6-17-23 (3gp, 0-2-2)
  2. LD Matthew Cairns, Fargo Force 17gp, 0-4-4 (no longer on team)
