With two top defenceman in the OHL playoffs and unprecedented success at AHL Bakersfield, there's reason for optimism in the Oilers farm system. (SportsnetSpec)
The trick will be not to rush Benson, considering the paucity of top-6 wingers in Edmonton.
Scouts are divided on Marody, even if he’s been their best player at times, because he is a tad slower than Benson. There is every chance Marody becomes no more than a good AHL player, unless he can find a way to pick up a stride in his summertime workouts. However, he’s 22. Players improve. Then there is an out-of-the-blue pick-up from Division III Endicottt College named Logan Day, who has 34 points in his first pro season. You never know…
Add six-foot-three centre Ryan McLeod , who turns pro next year, six-foot-three, 40-goal OHL winger Kirill Maksimov — plus another top-10 pick this season — and the pipeline, at least, is where it should be in Edmonton.
