I hope tyler benson lands a spot the lineup as he has some size showed abit of a spark in training camp and as was mentioned he's a cheaper depth option. I think jake vertanan only makes the roster in a last resort situation as we have no shortage of depth players in bakersfiel . I also really hope warren fogel has a break out season would be great for him and especially the team. he has size and I believe he has more to offer than he showed last year now that hes been on the team a year Hes looked good in camp so far hopefully he can build on it
I see/hear that new microphone! Good updates on the production quality in the last while! It is noticed! 🙂 Benson's injury and the cap wall definitely throw a monkey wrench into the works 🙁
Crazy how everyone wants benson to keep getting chances.. this guy has had a few years and countless opportunities to stay on the team & he can't, & the oilers waived him last season so idk why they resigned him. but Virtanen plays 3 games with the C/D squads and everyone jumps on him.. then when he played with a better lineup against the Canucks he didn't look that bad.
Too bad about Benson as he was having a strong camp. Vertanin has done very little so I don’t see him as an Oiler but cap space really limits moves without a trade. Goaltending looks good including Pickard. Been a long time since confidence was this high for Oil goaltending. Keep the vids rolling. Audio really good on this vid btw.
I had Benson on my projected roster too, but now will replace him with Malone. I still have concerns with just a 21 man roster as Bakersfield is not that close, and I my understanding is that there's no taxi squads this season.
For sixth defenceman, I think it looks like: 1) Niemelainen, 2) Murray, 3) Samorukov, 4) Broberg. For top six winger, I think it's: 1) Holoway, 2) Nugent Hopkins, 3) Puljujarvi. For fourth liners I have no idea but I'll say Hamblin has made an unexpected impression.

We're a week from Hockey Season, what say we get this man to 4k?

Still hope a trade is made to free up some cap space
Is the game being televised tonight? If so where?
Shocked we haven't released Virtanen yet. Guy is invisible.

Holloway with McDavid is an interesting combo.
