Yesterday Alex let you know just who exactly draft pick Greg Chase. If you read that article you’d know he was the Oilers final selection of the 2013 draft and the final edition of the 2013 Oilers Rig “Just Who Is” rookie series.
It’s no coincidence that the final article in the rookie series coincides with the Start of the Penticton Young Stars tournament this coming Thursday. The annual (sort of – obviously nothing last year) tournament features the young Oilers up against the best rookies from the Calgary Flames (hehehe), the San Jose Sharks and last but not least the Vancouver Canucks.
This is exciting news folks. Puck drop at the Young Stars tourney signals the end of the offseason, the games last time around were streamed live on the internet for all to enjoy last time, and I hope it’s the same this time. We will have a more in depth article later this week but so you know Edmonton’s first game is Thursday at 5:00 MST against the Flames (hehehe), I guess that will be Oiler fans first look at Calgary pick Sean Monahan.
