In a Flat Cap World - Play the Rookies

Created by: ash

Team: 2021-22 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 13, 2021

Published: Jun. 13, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I know I know the Oilers rushing prospects is a meme, but having lots of ELCs on the roster during the next few years of flat cap could help us stay flexible and weaponize our capspace.

I'm assuming Bouchard is ready, but what are your thoughts on Lavoie, Holloway, Broberg, McLeod, and Benson potentially being regulars next season?

If Edmonton goes into the season with 18 mil in cap holland should be fired immediately. Buy a goalie ffs.

You’re not the only one that feels this way, I like your take.

Agreed. Starting with something like this could allow us to pick up a veteran goalie from a cap-strapped team on the cheap. NYI and VGK might fit the bill.

I watched most of Bakersfield games this season, Lavoie is still more than a year away. He showed some flashes, but he is really not very interested in Dzone play. He will also take Ozone penalties, but to be honest not all were deserved.

Hopefully he builds on his rookie year and gets better in every part of his game, because he has that amazing shot, he needs to figure out how to get it off with less time and space.

Niemelainen was impressive and might be better than Jones is today, plus he is 6'5"...

Broberg will spend at least a few weeks in the AHL, but Samorukov could surprise, but he is coming off shoulder surgery. Only Holloway and Bouchard can realistically be expected to be contenders for roster spots.

Skinner needs another year in the A, plus he is waiver exempt for 1 more year...

I agree with most of with what you are saying but if Benson is not ready then he will never be ready. I think Skinner should be ready to back up in the NHL but not play as much as would be needed if Mike Smith is the other goalie.

Going into a season with 5 players on your roster with a combined 14 games of experience is probably not going to do you in a good way.

she's going to be a long slow deep burn.

Benson? I didn't mention him, but I think he is ready. I've watched him in person a few times in Penticton and also an exhibition game VS Calgary. One of the things that that stand out with him, but isn't mentioned much is his effort level.

He is ready, he just needs his coach to believe in him.

Skinner is not ready. He needs to improve his focus/puck-tracking. He has the techniques and physical skill, but needs to improve his awareness. I noticed him "zoning out" and losing his net, lose focus on where the puck is a few times in several games in the A this season.

He is a typical talented young pro who still needs growth, experience and refinement so he can become consistent. Same as it ever was.....
