Schmiddy starts, the whole world outside of Spec knew this.
Khaira out. Assumed. Also Neal is out tonight.
Kassian and Barrie took the skate. Will know on Kass this afternoon. Barrie likely a game time call.
|
Please jeebus on Barrie.
Kassian, meh. Refs seem to just call penalties on him when he tries to engage.
|
I'm not too concerned if Barrie can't play. I think Bouchard can step in on the powerplay and Barrie isn't a world beater on defence at 5v5. His minutes can be eaten up between Bouchard, Bear and Larsson. This is likely Barrie's only season as an Oiler, so it would be good to start getting some looks with Bouchard anyhow.
I know Bob Stauffer likes to beat the drum that defencemen aren't ready until they've played X00 games in the league, etc etc. but the fact is, impact defencemen make the league at the age Bouchard is, and all his closest peers in his draft class are playing important roles for their team already. He can't just sit idly in the press box night after night after night.
|
Not to mention it's hard to get to that magic x00 figure from the press box.
|
By the way - this is exactly why I'm trading one of the LH defencemen prospects if I'm the Oilers. There is ZERO chance that Dave Tippett is going to have two early 20s left shot defencemen in the lineup in the next couple of years while still having early 20s Bouchard on the right side. It just isn't going to happen, and if Samorukov, 15 months older than Bouchard and two full years older than Broberg, doesn't get a push in the next year or so, his value is going to plummet hard. If the team thinks he can be better than Broberg, make the call soon and trade Broberg, but they're not both making the team so we can't really delay that trade very long and maintain their trade value.
