Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (8/21/26) · 21 Aug 2026 podcast

Pardon me.

And uh you know, he's so I think you'll be fine developmentally wise.

I think the concern I have, which I wrote, is

you know, what does the player think of the organization and what does the organization think of the player for doing this?

And, you know, hopefully this was a mutual uh mutually agreed uh decision and uh you know, he goes back for a year until the flutter, you know, the clog at uh the Oilers depth chart and for goaltending clears up and then he's back here.

You know, so he's young.

He can afford a year, you know, going back to Sweden, but I I d I don't wanna see him stay there more than this this coming season.

Well, I think I'd be very surprised if Honor Unger did not see some time at some point.

Um, you know, I think again, I'd be a little bit cautious with him in the sense that, you know, while he had a really uh epic run of nine or ten games in AHL, he also had a couple of really uh tough games as shooters started to figure him out.

So you'll wanna see him kind of take the job from Matt Tompkins in Bakersfield.

And, you know, after that it's really gonna be an injury

And

In you know, a waiver situation at the NHL level before you're gonna see someone like him there, but I think if you've had to pick one goalie uh in North America who could see time with the Oilers in the next twelve months, it's gonna be Conner Under.

So my take on him is that he did a really good job of embarrassing me as a talent evaluator, which maybe maybe maybe happens more often, or people like to raise it more often than I would like, anyways.

Um but you know, he came uh he's an interesting player, right?

He played he played in the QM J H L and then went back home um to Finland to play professional hockey.

And um when when I watched

Touch 'em

You know, he looked like a tweener to me in Finland and that's really a twinger in the sense that he's a pretty slight guy at uh you know, he's six foot, but he's only a hundred and seventy pounds.

And he while he's a a good skater, he's not a great change of pace skater.
