Matt Henderson: The 10 Most Important Oiler Prospects: 10 - Jujhar Khaira

suck it oilhorse

Yakimov figures greatly into the teams future one would guess.
And unlike khaira, probably has a real shot at making the club in the not too distant future.

Nurse is far and away the best and most important prospect in the system. Even assuming Connor is in fact a prospect and not a lock to be in the nhl (he is which sorta takes him outta the running) he might be the best prospect we have as his pedigree is unparalleled, but nurses development to what we hope is absolutely essential to us ever getting where we want. And thus, the most important guy in the organization. Prospect or otherwise


Youre welcome

In no particular order..
Mcdavid
Nurse
Reinhart
Yakimov
Sleppy
Chase
Platzer
Joey leggs
Iiro
Bear

Thought I'd lend a helping hand

"By virtue of being incredibly terrible for incredibly long, the Oilers have managed to amass a prospect pool that rivals few others among NHL clubs."

This implies that they have a bad prospect pool, that they do not rival anyone else. I think you mean the opposite, no?

Well Hendo this is back to back blogs with no corsi, another 10/10. This vacation did you good.

If you did mention corsi then I apologize for just skimming the blog.

I was going for the implication that they've been in favorable drafting position for a long time and it has contributed to their prospect pool being incredible. I don't think it implies what you suggest it does but if there's confusion that falls on the writer more often than not.

Give yourself some credit Hendo. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you write, certain readers will always misinterpret after reading it.

Either way, Solid idea for a series of blogs when there's absolutely nothing to write about

True story. Lets just see if he lists Nurse as a number 1 prospect, because as you say, McDavid is a lock for the show, so shouldn't really be considered a prospect.

All a matter of semantics and perspective really.
But even if he does see Connor as a prospect, I wouldn't argue who the 'best' prospect is.
But most important is another ball of wax


End of the day, nurse isn't only our most important prospect. Imo, he's the most important player in the organization

Flames fans believe Bennett will out score mcdavid this year..

Interesting to see rumblings of a new barn for the flames today...

Don't think it's out of the question.. Personally I'm confident mcDavid will have more points but u never know

goal scoring yes points maybe.

I think Nurse will make the roster no doubt as well as Reinhardt but Nurse will be an absolute stud.
