WEEKEND UPDATE!


Another busy week for Oilers prospects, including Mitch Moroz scoring his first pro goal. The trade deadline is just around the corner, so it’s a good time to pay close attention to Barons players who are ripping it up.

- G Frans Tuohimaa 3GP, 4.22, .904 (ECHL this week)
Notes:
- Short week, but the Moroz goal is a nice item. He appears to be getting a little more playing time, necessary for these young prospects to develop.
- Laurent Brossoit had a nice recovery game after a tough outing just before the AS break.
- The injury to Niki Nikitin should mean a callup, my guess is Brandon Davidson but my hope is Martin Marincin. Jordan Oesterle would also be a strong candidate.
CHL
- C Kyle Platzer, Owen Sound (OHL) 46GP, 21-37-58 (4GP, 2-4-6 this week)
- C-W Greg Chase, Calgary-Victoria (WHL) 41GP, 15-29-44 (3GP, 1-2-3 this week)
- R Jackson Houck, Vancouver (WHL) 45GP, 15-23-38 (2GP, 0-0-0 this week)
- C Marco Roy, Quebec (QMJHL) 41GP, 20-16-36 (2GP, 1-1-2 this week)
- D Darnell Nurse, SSM (OHL) 28GP, 8-19-27 (3GP, 0-2-2 this week)
- D Ben Betker, Everett (WHL) 44GP, 4-20-24 (2GP, 0-0-0 this week)
- C Leon Draisaitl, Kelowna (WHL) 11GP, 7-10-17 (4GP, 3-3-6 this week)
- G Keven Bouchard Val d’Or (QMJHL) 28GP, 4.33 .853 (3gp, 4.29 .869 this week)
L Vladimir Tkachev is 28GP, 9-18-27 for the year.
Notes:
- Kyle Platzer is having a wonderful year. A two-way reputation married to these boxcars—and a big PP push—should mean he gets signed for sure.
- Leon Draisaitl is settling in nicely, he’s approaching last year’s scoring (per game) and should surpass that as he continues to get acclimated.
- Keven Bouchard may not be a good goalie.
NCAA
- D Joey Laleggia, Denver (NCAA) 24GP, 9-13-22 (2GP, 1-0-1 this week)
- L Evan Campbell UMass-Lowell (NCAA) 25GP, 6-13-19 (2GP, 0-0-0 this week)

BCJHL

USHL
- William Lagesson, Dubuque 29GP, 1-11-12 (2GP, 0-0-0 this week)
Notes:
- Nagelvoort has played well for awhile now, that SP is coming around.
- Lagesson hasn’t scored a point in forever.
- Vesel does something good every week.
EUROPE
- L Roman Horak, Vityaz Podolsk (KHL) 46GP, 18-13-31 (3GP, 0-1-1 this week)
- L Anton Slepyshev, Salavat Yulaev (KHL) 52GP, 13-9-22 (4GP, 0-0-0 this week)
- R Antti Tyrvainen, Ilves (SML) 39GP, 5-6-11 (4GP, 0-0-0 this week)
- L Daniil Zharkov Torpedo (VHL) 30GP, 2-3-5 (Did Not Play this week)
Notes:
