The Edmonton Oilers prospect pool has been seen as weak for some time, although the acquisitions of Matthew Savoie and Ike Howard have helped to improve the perception. Even amongst some of the Oilers draft choices, have been able to bring some prestige and NHL projectability to their pipeline.
There is a healthy mix of prospects who are primed to breakout and show and dominate in their respective league and region. There are also a few prospects who have been able to push their limits and raised their draft stock due to their exceptional performances.
Although, there are some prospects who have unfortunately failed to meet expectations and have seen their draft stock fall due to their play.
