This is their full camp roster. If they wanted to look at players they would have brought more players and made cuts as they typically do. They for some strange reason are going a different route. Everyone of them will be highly criticized if this does not end with gold.

Exactly it's gold or bust. Personally I want nurse there for him to get the experience but sutter is a damn good coach at that level so we'll see how it pans out

Canada always has crazy depth, it's too bad for us oiler fans he's not on the team but we'll ice a team capable of winning gold. The went heavy on whl defensemen probably due to sutter but he has to be confident in who he sends out there. poopty for the oil but sutter is a great junior coach and if he gets gold then the roster doesn't matter

Nice!

I was unhappy with the nurse pick at first. Still think Nichushkin was the better pick. But Nurse has seriously surprised me. He was great in the pre season and his only real question mark was his offensive game and he's now 2nd in OHL Dman scoring. Very happy with the pick now.

Jesus h. I think Darnell nurse is what the oilers have needed since pronger jumped ship

Its pretty rare 18 year olds make the team though. Not very often they're impact players. So I don't think it's as big a deal as some seem to think.

So why are they taking an even younger guy with worse numbers?

Not sure who you're talking about, and they haven't announced the team. My bet is, whoever you're talking about won't make it.

As per Ched, Oilers recall Jason Labarbera from OKC and assign D Corey Potter to the Barons. #yeg. Bryz must be for-real-kind-of-hurt.

Kinda shocked they'd send Potter down over Grebs

Not sure if Ekblad makes it. He actually may though, more in terms of it being a kid that will undoubtedly be there in future years. Give him the experience? He may even make it as 7th dman for that purpose?

I don't think that's been their M.O. in the past though.

Certainly plausible. But if he wasnt deserving of a top 6/7 spot, it'd be abit foolish to give him a spot for the experience. Big assumption he'll be available to them for future tourneys.
Hockey canada likes gettin dudes in the program i guess..

Yup, and they have won the Memorial cup 3 times over the past 4 years. Can't wait for the number of Q drafted players. It has nothing to do with demographic...

So historically to you is 4 years? Cool story man.
