Pourquoi les fans des Oilers ne devraient PAS être en colère contre ce rejet | Skyler Brind’Amour ne signera pas avec les Oilers d’Edmonton. Ont-ils raté quelque chose ?
He was a mediocre flier pick in 2017 who would have went undrafted if his last name wasn't Brind'Amour. He's an average height player with a slighter frame who, at 23, has never really produced at a promising rate in the NCAA. He'd need a few years in the AHL at minimum (probably not even cracking the top 6 down there), and even then he likely never cracks beyond a 4th line in the NHL.
If he doesn't want to play in Edmonton, in the AHL, or if he just wants to play for his dad. That's fine, he's a grown man who's never going to get another shot at this. His choice.
It's not great to lose any college draftee, but the likelihood of Brind'Amour panning out isn't high. But just to add a little bit to the discussion, John Marino was a decent prospect we lost for nothing. Also, Schultz I'm pretty sure (I haven't looked it up) was an Anaheim prospect who signed with the Oilers. So it's gone both ways for the Oilers.

Never heard of her, and we have better prospects anyways😆
More like the Oilers had no interest giving him a NHL contract….
No big deal. He's not a huge loss, and he's not even close to the talent that his dad had.
More like the Oilers rejected him only offering Skyler an AHL contract… lol

A talented kid looking to make a NHL lineup has the least chance making Edmonton's lineup. So why would he want to come here and be locked in the AHL.
I mean, I think he won a face off
Why would you name your kid Skyler?
Guys a bum, it's literally no loss whatsoever
This is only news because his last name is Brind’Amour
I think I speak for the average Oiler fan when I say, who?
I only know he isn't the former Flyer player's son who pushed a wheelchair down the stairs.
He would never be able to crack the Oilers, let alone an NHL teams line up.
Liam said “He’s essentially Zack Hyman who’s a little bit taller” ?? Haha we wouldn’t want a guy like that?
What as he done to hold an NHL spot?
Who gives a shiet😊
weve got alot of promising prospects as is. I.E- Matvey Petrov for just one.

Skylar is a stupid name for a hockey player… based on that, I would not sign him
Skylar white yo
