Several rating blunders are also needing to be updated which has created some difficulty sorting out the roster. Neither is Bogdan Yakimov, the Oilers prospect who left to return to the KHL this summer, but we’ll make a special exception for him. The game developers are heavily behind, and the likes of Rob Klinkhammer and Nick Pageau aren’t supposed to be here. EA has a long way to go regarding keeping up with minor league rosters, but it’s the cost of trying to create the most in-depth fan experience a hockey video game can offer.
There are several notable omissions, and the team is basically the 2015-16 Condors.
There is a night and day difference between the virtual and real Condors roster. If you’re looking for an authentic roster for the Condors, grab some takeout, whatever your preferred beverage is and sit down with your buddies and hammer it out. There is no way around saying it - the Oilers virtual AHL affiliate in Bakersfield is an absolute disaster for gamers. Currently, on PetrPuck there are guides for creating several Oiler prospects such as Patrick Russell (F) Jere Sallinen (F), Nick Ellis (G), Caggiula and Benning.

Benning was another underrated free agent signing by Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli. Benning, like Caggiula, is not in the video game as of this most recent roster update. Related: PetrPuck’s NHL 17 Creation GuideĪnother big name missing from the roster is recently demoted defenseman Matt Benning. That means until he plays an NHL game for the Oilers he won’t be added to the Oilers virtual roster. Injuries have kept Caggiula out of the Oilers lineup, and he currently sits on IR.
The Oilers prized NCAA free agent signing this summer has generated plenty of buzz, and most prognosticators had the 22-year-old forward penciled into the Oilers bottom-six to start the year. Reading the above list, you’ll notice one name is noticeably missing Drake Caggiula.

Every other team in a Pacific has no players with an 80 overall rating, aside from Anaheim (two) and Los Angeles (one). Another rookie debuting from the NCAA is Jimmy Vesey (New York Rangers) who shares the same rating as Puljujarvi if that puts things into perspective. A subtle change but it helps keep pace with several changes made to the other NHL rookies in the game.įrom the 2016 NHL Draft class, just Auston Matthews (85) and Patrik Laine (82) have higher ratings than the Oilers rookie.
Ratings-wise, there have been no changes to the Oilers virtual roster, except for rookie Jesse Puljujarvi seeing an increase from 76 to 79 overall. Here are some Oiler notes regarding the most recent NHL 17 roster update: Puljujarvi Sees Overall Rating Increase Jesse Puljujarvi (Photo: Timothy T.

EA Sports is still heavily behind in their minor pro updates, and Pochiro still finds himself on the ECHL Quad City Mallard’s roster.

The roster update comes after the Nail Yakupov trade, but you won’t find Zach Pochiro on the AHL Bakersfield Condors. Naturally, some omissions have been made as the video game company, the NHL, NHLPA and PHPA work around licensing agreements. The game has gotten deeper with rosters across thirteen leagues and two top prospects team - this has created for some massive overhaul to be done regarding the rosters. EA Sports has released the first of several roster updates for NHL 17 this season and with them, several notes can be made about the Edmonton Oilers.
