Andersson
Kylington
Mangiapane
Foo
Klimchuk

That is Oiler-bad, with no additions to that list until June, 2019

Absolutely derails the prospect list.
That is fair but Dube to me isn't surefire. There have been numerous prospects over the last decade who did amazing and fell off. Maybe that's where my perspective comes from.

Poirier, Rienhart, etc.
