Podkolzin with 97 and 29 at scrimmage. Howard with RNH and Hyman. It’s early.. but there it is.

Alex Formenton isn't just fast — his numbers show elite NHL speed.
• 24.21 mph top speed (99th percentile)
• 298 bursts over 20 mph (99th percentile)
• 13.356 sec AHL Fastest Skater winner
• 150+ PK minutes in his last NHL season
Speed + PK ability = an intriguing addition for #LetsGoOilers

Michaels was a big reason why Western Michigan won the NCAA title last year. Really competitive. Good support player who gets the puck where it needs to be. Can drive the play under pressure.
Skating needs work. I'm not sure he's more than an AHLer.

Jason Dickinson, reportedly acquired by EDM, is a shut-down centre. Works hard, great stick, some physicality, has done very well in tough deployment in CHI this season. Little offence except a sneaky good curl and drag wrister from range. #LetsGoOilers

I gave Jason Dickinson a third-place Selke Trophy vote in 2023-24. He was dynamite for Chicago that season:
When Dickinson was on the ice at 5-on-5, the Blackhawks had a +9 goal differential. When he wasn't on the ice, they had a -95 differential.
A 104-goal difference on a rebuilding team that finished with only 52 points. He drew the toughest competition of any forward on the team too. True third-line shutdown center, top penalty killer. I imagine that's the role he'll play in Edmonton. #Blackhawks

Connor Murphy deserves all the flowers. He hasn’t sniffed the playoffs in his NHL career (outside of the bubble) but never once complained about his situation in Chicago. Total pro on and off the ice. Plays the right way. Defends hard. Stands up for teammates. Beloved in the room. Happy for him as he gets a chance to play meaningful hockey for an Edmonton team with Stanley Cup aspirations. #Blackhawks

Josh Samanski Thread:
I'll address why I think he was recalled and also Ike Howard in another thread. Here is what the Oilers get in Samanski.
6'3", 200 pound left shot C. He is tied for 6th in the entire AHL in 5v5 scoring with 22 points. He's 23 years old.
1/8

Bouchard had more points tonight than Frederic is on pace for over an entire 82 game season

Oilers earn shutouts in back-to-back games with each by a 5+ goal margin for the first time in franchise history
