Province saying he's coming here too...

Sportsnet as well:

Small, skilled left hand shot forward. Can't seem to find anywhere that says which forward position he actually plays. Might not seem a great fit, but our prospect cupboard at forward was pretty bare and his numbers are fantastic. People will talk about Arcobello and Miller as other high-end forwards who we signed out of college, but they were point per game players. Caggiula had 51 points in 39 games so I'd say just based on that he looks to be well ahead of those two.

And I think this is the source for most of the reports saying he's a done deal with the Oilers:

And to be honest, no one should really be complaining about Arcobello and Miller (Arcobello especially). Not only did both guys help the organization by helping the AHL club, they got real NHL games out of them, without spending an asset. They've had as much success with college free agents recently as they have in the later rounds of the draft.

I'm good with it. I'm not very satisfied with the organizational depth at any position, and forward prospects might be the worst of the bunch. Adding another quality prospect isn't any guarantee, but it is a good decision. It would be absolutely great if he become a Gallagher / Shaw type player, but if he can help the AHL team win and be a guy pushing for an NHL job and perhaps providing some talent in the bottom-six in the NHL, what's not to like about that?
