EDMONTON – RW NOEL NORDH, BRYNAS IF J20 (J20 NATIONELL)Bringing his net front presence that will give the Oilers that player who is willing to stand in there and whack at pucks after the elite shooters let it go. He brings a long and smooth skating ability that he’ll have to work on adding speed to. Soft hands when needed and the ability to make nice passes to streaking line mates. An excellent shot, especially from in close. Willing to play more physical which is something this team lacks slightly. Generally, makes the smart and safe plays to avoid causing mistakes. Will need to develop his defensive game more before transitioning to the North American game. Is a player who can slide up and down the line up as required bringing more depth to the top-heavy Oilers. – Matt Hnatiuk
