As of now, we're looking at a merit-based roster of:

McDrai- Kassian
Jurco- RNH- Neal
JJ- Sheahan- Archibald
McLeod- Marody- Russell
Granlund, Chiasson

Nurse- Larsson
Klefbom- Bouchard
Lagesson- Bear
Russell (hasn't played, but safe to say he'll be on the roster)

Smith
Starrett (maybe?)

Too early to say, but i think Persson has a spot

I agree that it's too early to make any sweeping conclusions, but I don't think Persson has earned a spot on merit any more so than Bear has. While I'd prefer he get a year in the AHL first, Bouchard has been a fair deal more impressive than either.

Oh, he has defiinitely not earned a spot, but i think he has been solid, considering he only has 2 games on NA ice.

I am curious to see if Tippett will play Leon with Neal during the preseason. If they gain any sort of chemistry it would have the potential of giving the Oilers 2 good scoring lines.

I don't mind coaches dressing a bad roster, sometimes it is the only way to truly evaluate what you have because of the extra ice time players get.You just have to know that the result will likely be a bad one and use it as a coaching/teaching game

1. I hope not
2. To a certain degree, yes. But having players like Lowe and Peluso is just a waste of space .

On the plus side, Nuge looks like he only has to wait a year and he could have a winger in Lafreniere on his line.

Holtz, Raymond or Stutzle I'd rather the playoffs, though.

"The #Oilers have assigned the following players to the @Condors:

• Tyler Benson
• Cameron Hebig
• Caleb Jones
• Kirill Maksimov
• Cooper Marody
• Ryan McLeod
• Anthony Peluso
• Dmitri Samorukov
• Dylan Wells

The #Oilers have also placed the following players on waivers for the purpose of assignment to the @Condors:

• Josh Currie
• Joseph Gambardella
• Keegan Lowe
• Brad Malone

There are now 33 players remaining at Training Camp – 3 goaltenders, 11 defencemen & 19 forwards."


Willy outlasts Jones while Gambardella doesn't get much of a shot at earning a spot. Would've liked to see Benson get a shot with Nuge, but I don't hate the concept of sending them down to build momentum before breaking into the NHL. Get the good vibes going so that when they're called up, they'll be in the habit of producing offense.

That they kept Haas over Marody indicates to me that they're aiming to play this slower and force the kids to oust the placeholders.

EDIT: Logan Day also survived that rounds of cuts

He's the incumbent 7D option. Unless someone outplays enough to force their way onto the the roster, he'll be the press box butt-boy. Can't have a prospect wasting development time in the pressbox.

Ideally Willy Legs can usurp Russell for a spot while Bear or Persson prove capable of manning the 2RD spot.

Nurse- Larsson
Klefbom- Bear
Willy- Benning

Not a strong D corps, but starts to show the first of the rewards for having one of the best D pipelines.

After Bennings performance last night complete with the patented Russell slide which leads to a goal for the other team I’m beginning to not want him around.....hopefully he gets his poop together the next game
