Oilers Draft Big Latvian Center
from Edmonton News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The Oilers pulled off a savvy trade-down to snag 18-year-old Latvian behemoth Rudolfs Berzkalns at 58th overall — a big, bruising center who dominated the USHL and already reps Latvia internationally. Scouts rave about his two-way grit and physical presence, calling him a potential bottom-six workhorse who’ll make opponents pay. Picked later than some expected, he’s a steal — and the Oilers got an extra fifth-round pick to boot. With Berzkalns joining Swedish forward Malcom Gästrin in their draft haul, Edmonton’s clearly building depth with size and toughness in mind.
