BREAKING: Edmonton Oilers have signed a goaltender!

Yet another good move by Peter Chiarelli

The Edmonton Oilers announced on Wednesday that they have signed a goaltender to a to a three-year entry-level contract following a strong season with Petes OHL team.

Dylan Wells (123rd overall, 2016 NHL entry draft) was a finalist for the OHL Goaltender of the Year with 30 wins & a .916 save percentage. The 6-foot-2, 182-pound netminder posted an 8-4 record in the OHL playoffs, with a 2.51 goals-against average & .930 save percentage.

Scouting report found on Draftsite.com describes him as "One of the top goaltender prospects in the class, he has confidence, concentration and rebound control. Tracks puck very well and almost always makes the first save. Attacks rebounds with his soft pads and works his tail off in games and in practice. Has shown he can carry the heavy load game after game. Traffic in front doesn’t faze him, and plays the angles well." 

Brock Otten, OHL prospect described him as a goaltender that "brings both size and athleticism to the crease and he’s worked hard to improve his rebound control and positioning. He can still overcommit when you get him moving side to side, but he’s a really solid goaltending prospect and I think that by season’s end, he’ll be the starter in Peterborough."
