Xavier Bourgault has signed a new contract with the Edmonton Oilers.

Lets go, professor X is signed

Lol they couldve had Wallstedt

The Oilers have signed 2021 first-round pick Xavier Bourgault to an ELC. Bourgault has 26 goals and 51 points in 31 QMJHL games this season. He has eight points in six games since returning from a core/abdomen injury.I wrote about Bourgault in February.https://t.co/juyL159pus

lol, Rask could have spent his entire career in Toronto

Lets go Bourgault should become a good player.

dam lol

Ill take Raycroft anyday

Also sidenote Tuukka's career wouldve been wasted in TO

I think this is a good decision.

Very good 2-way forward. God knows Oilers need that.

But fr they could have had Wallstedt.

Wallstedt was sitting right there, begging to be your Calder to Vezina winner.
Instead you gambled with Kosko and two additional years of Father Time.

It's an art project.

I really like to watch him play for Shawinigan. A future top 6 winger for Edmonton.

AND..... ENTER THE OILERS DYNASTY

Great, great prospect/ player but guys forever linked to Wallstedt.

Jesper could absolutely tear up this league soon, so only time will tell.

Huge fight breaking out between LeafsDude and OilersGuy.

PrinsonBull what are we gonna do about this?

where is HabsMan and SensFellow when you need them?

Probably having their way with PegBoy.

that got me good. Cheers, man.

4 goals and two assists since the signing has Bourgault at 33, 30-27-57. Based on NHLe, Bourgault has a higher goal scoring rate than any other 1st rounder from his draft. That's money.

yet there is still the tHeY cOuLd HaVe HaD wALlStEdT people

Yup. I would have drafted Wallstedt but it's foolish to call a draft 9 months after it happened. Need to wait at least 5 years. The fact is we don't know which player will have a better career yet.

I mean yeah I would have to but I think he gets a little overrated, people talk about him on here like he is the next Vasilevskiy but I would expect the next Vasilevskiy to have higher then a .918 SV% in the liiga and then there is also the fact that Stevie Y (the saint who can't do no wrong according to the people on here) passed on him for Cossa (who only has a .910 SV% in the WHL btw)
