Claimed: Oakhart's Offers

Oakhart Options

 

The Canadian left winger has decided to declare for the VHLM and VHL drafts, although he is a little bit behind in development according to most scouts. A knee injury may have delayed his season and overall development, but he may be a solid second or third round selection for most VHL teams. Described as a bruising goal scorer, Vinny may be able to help a team in a top-6 capacity. He's not as great as some of these other players but does he truly need to be at this point? Oakhart just needs to finish rehabilitation and will likely be in full health come the mid-season mark which is quickly approaching. A few teams have already extended their offers, but what is Vinny's true thoughts about them?

 

Ottawa Lynx

Given that Oakhart is an Ottawa native himself and grew up there, it's safe to assume that this is a solid destination for the winger this year. The best team in the league with a soaring record can only get better with the addition of Vinny but they already have mainstay Jeff Gow here as their top winger and picked up Zach Weise quite recently. It's safe to assume that Oakhart isn't a pressing need for the Lynx as he would only be maybe their 6th-7th forward.

 

Yukon Rush

This is a bit interesting due to a few particular factors. It's another Canadian team but that is not the catch here, it's the fact they have fellow Canadian prospect and phenom Chase Keller. It has been rumored that Oakhart would love to play on Keller's wing someday, but is it possible if he signs with the Rush? They will surely get a few shifts together but it is doubtful that he will be a fixture on their top line since they have both Bennington and Buckshank. Both are clearly better options on the wing than Vinny at this moment so he will never get to truly be Keller's winger.

 

Oslo Storm

A European team that has expressed interest in the physical winger, which is of no surprise to most scouts. They lack top-6 wingers in general so Oakhart would get plenty of playing time here and could potentially develop into a lethal option here if he can surpass Ben Green on the depth chart. This team doesn't look like they will accomplish much though, but it may allow Vincent to enhance his leadership capabilities and grow with the team. He wants to be the player that gets the puck when the game is on the line, but that may not be a certainty even here. Shephard is a premier sniper so their styles may clash.

 

Vincent Oakhart has yet to sign as he is still mulling over offers, so thee is still time for the other two teams to send in an offer. Where will the Ottawa native sign? Only time will tell.
