Bouchard is going to play ... has some warts. Benson is off to a decent start in the AHL but he's Mangipane or Foo.
It would almost be like this ...

You're the brains here, but when I look at the Oilers list of prospects, the closest to a Blue Chip prospect is Bouchard, and he has some real skating issues. Their elite prospects are what Bear, Jones and Skinner? That's not great in terms of what's going to be able to help them in a year or two.
Lowe and Chia have really done a number on that team due to draft and player mismanagement.
