* Training camp invite
Forwards - Obviously, all eyes will be on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. He's going to have to go through all the progressions (ie. rookie camp, training camp and exhibition games, first 9 games of the regular season) in order to be a mainstay on the Oilers this year....Other forwards to keep an eye on are Anton Lander, Tyler Pitlick and Curtis Hamilton. All three of them will be getting there first taste of North American pro hockey. It will be interesting to see how they are utilized by the organization, how they adapt and how long will it be before they are mainstays on the Oilers....Happy to see Brett Ferguson get a shot. "The Nuge's" teammate in Red Deer brings a feisty defnsive center style that could potentially get him a pro contract somewhere down the line....Ryan Martindale is a player yet to endear himself with the Oiler staff. He had a solid year for the 67s, we'll get a chance to see how he's progressed after having a rough go in his first rookie camp....Interesting to see Toni Rajala's name on this list. Speedy winger is a darkhorse to make some noise at camp.
Defense - Happy to see Colten Teubert's name on this list, he'll have a great opportunity to shine during rookie camp and show his wares to the masses....I wonder how much Marincin and Gernat will get a chance to play together, could be a reuniting of the twin towers....Blain is getting some buzz about a strong half-year in the Q. We'll get a chance to see how his game translates to the pros....David Musil, I'm very lukewarm to him. It will be interesting to see how his first pro camp goes. If the rookie camp games turn into a gong show like they usually do, he might have a chance to make a mark....Brandon Davidson will get a chance to continue to impress, he has a good shot of playing full-time in OKC this year.
Goaltending - Bunz and Roy will battle tooth and nail with each other. Both see opportunity to be "the next one" in line for the startets' gig. Should be interesting to see how they one up each other....Adam Brown is a solid choice to bring in as a 3rd goaltender. Backstopped some strong Kelowna teams in the past. He brings some credentials, is a battler and will push Roy and Bunz to emerge, a definite darkhorse to surprise.
