Team snatches a coveted prospect to the dismay of many other teams.

The Oilers have managed to steal a very coveted prospect today, much to the dismay of other clubs vying for his services.

Edmonton Oilers confirmed reports by announcing the signing of Drake Caggiula on Saturday. The Oilers made the two-year entry-level deal official after various reports Friday suggested the 21-year-old has opted to join the organization.

Caggiula is coming off his fourth season at the University of North Dakota where he hit career highs with 25 goals and 51 points in 39 games.

The 21-year-old Caggiula led North Dakota to the 2016 NCAA Frozen Four title as an assistant captain and also earned the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player award. 

The five-foot-10, 185-pound winger has accumulated 62 goals and 65 assists and 94 penalty minutes in 162 career games with North Dakota.

The highly touted collegiate standout was vetted by multiple teams before deciding on the Oilers on Saturday.
