Seriously, they finally see the light at the end of the tunnel after a decade and if we take him out, oh boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.53 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Also, so question for anyone that went to the prospect camp this year. This may be wrong section but it's related enough.. I couldn't go, so your intel will be much appreciated. Who are your top 5 players that impressed you? I plan on watching this tourney, and I'm super pumped. Last year it was a great time. 2 guys that I'm extremely interested in are Ben Hutton and Guilliame Brisebois. How did they do?? Of course, I'm pumped about our first rounders Subban and Zhukenov too, but from what I've seen Hutton and Brisebois seem like the real deal, and have solid potential to be impact NHL players. I hope everyone had a strong camp, but any intel would be good. Anyway, top 5 players that impressed? Maybe a player that didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Will be interesting to see Guilliame Brisbois play. I've heard nothing but great things about him during the prospects camp. Hopefully, he pans out and shows us what he's got. Virtanen, McCann, Brisbois, and Cassels are going to be players I'm watching closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think I'm gonna drive up from Vancouver to see this...make it a long weekend of hockey-overload. Almost tempted to try to get one of the Premium VIP Packages...already scouting the area for hotels close to the arena. Really can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Whatever happened to that small Russian kid on the Oilers that stood out at the Young Stars Tourney? I think he was 5'6 140 lbs. but was one of the best players out there...and also, didn't the Oilers try to sneak him into their organization as a free agent signing only to be busted because of some technicality? Did any of this actually happen or am I just imagining it? Does anyone remember any of this? Edit...don't mind me. Just looked it up and the kid was Vladimir Tkachev...5'8" 160 according to Oilers roster sheet...5'10" 144 lbs. according to The Hockey News. Wouldn't mind seeing JB take a flyer on this kid. Looks like he got passed over in the draft this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
