Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (8/27/26) · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

I mean, I'm trying to take a bullet for Bob.

He looks great, so that's okay if I gotta look fatter.

reason he's ranked so high is not because of

you know, a high skill type player's gonna play in your top six and score a lot of goals.

I think you what you've got here is a player that's a bit more what I'd call him is he's a bottom six unicorn in the sense in a sense that, you know, w that's where he's gonna fit, uh, if he makes it in the NHL and the the unicorn part to him is he is a throw

throwback player in terms of how he plays the game.

You know, I obviously I alluded to the nine fighting majors in thirty four games in the AHL.

Um he will stand un in there against anybody and uh not bat an eye.

But more than that

He he finishes every single check, he finishes them hard.

And

w you know, in an ear guys tend to peel away a lot or are a little bit softer on the fore check, he's not that guy.

He finishes everything hard and that creates a lot of um anxiety with defenders who are on puck retrievals.

And the other thing it does is when he when he's out there running around like that, creates a lot of space for the skilled players that are playing with him.

And, you know, that's as I said in the article today, that's a type of player that the Oilers really don't have.

You know, you maybe could see it in Trent Frederick a little bit, but

This this is this is a uh a much more extreme version and if he can ever finish his puck skills

uh off in terms of his ability to handle the puck and make good decisions.

Uh this is a player that could really kind of provide a different look to the bottom six of the Edmonton Oilers and a good look.

Yeah, th i th that's really the only thing that that will hold him back.
