Bob Stauffer 2:55

Good. Without revealing too much, you have had a connection to Hockey Canada over the years. Yes. Before we get to Oilers Prospects, in your opinion, Should anyone of Evan Bouchard, Zach Hyman, or Ryan Nugent Hopkins be on Team Canada?

Bruce Kerlock 3:11

Oh, Evan Bouchard for certain. I just think you can't have enough skill at a short tournament like this. Um, Evan Bouchard is certainly one of the best Canadian defensemen from an offensive perspective. And quite frankly, I think he's shown his defensive chops in the last little bit this year. Some people, you know, they get spotlighted on, kind of the egregious turnover and it's that's fair and in a short tournament that could catch it but i i think he's more than balanced that out and his offensive skill set is just so elite it's it would be a shame not to see him on that team i think every forward would benefit from him being there

Bob Stauffer 3:56

Nugent Hopkins and Hyman right now are playing with the best player on the planet. And Connor, at this time, you were in the building on Saturday night. Connor was on another level again. He was, I mean, he hit two post slash crossbars. He scored a goal.
