The new kids for the oilers:
*edit* added the kids from past the 5th round now that im home again
Tommy Lafreniere. RW/C
From Quebec (although sportsnet says he’s from BC? Weird), 18yrs old and described as speedy. Had 24 goals and 32 assists in 68 games played last season
David Lewandowski. LW
From Germany but had his first year in Canada with the Blades where he marked 15 goals and 24 assists in 52 games. 18yrs old. He’s a noted hard shot—a rookie for Leon to mentor?
And then the interesting addition:
Traded next year’s pick with Nashville, Edmonton gained an additional pick this year they used to select:
Asher Barnett. D
From Illinois, 18yrs old. Described as more of an allrounder, with good physicality and puck handling. He’s committed to the University of Michigan, and was the captain of his USA development team.
Daniel Salonen. G
A goalie!! 19yrs of age, from Finland. Seems to have split his season between two clubs, with a .933 and .909 save percentage (the .909 was for only 8 games). Not much seems to have been written about him yet, so he's kind of a mystery (as all goalies are). Aidan Park. RW/C
You might recognise him from the viral moment where he accepted his jersey in shorts and a hoodie/tshirt. He wasn't expecting to get drafted, but was a local who wanted to support his friends and ended up going second last. He's 19, from California, and seems to be considered a defensively responsible forward. The last team he's listed as playing games in the regular season (Green Bay Gamblers) he had 33 goals and 33 assists in 55 games (gotta love numerology). He played for the Calgary bandits during the playoffs and had 0 points in 3 games. Looks like he's also committed to the University of Michigan
