Oilers at 181: Kristians Pelss

6.0, 198. From Latvia. Played for Belarus this past season, went 46gp, 6-3-9 in the regular season and had a nice playoff. Looks 12. Is a forward.

Stu MacGregor: "We saw him at the U-18 World Championships when we were in Belarus. He played extremely well, he has some talent. He's not a big body, but he is a guy we feel has real offensive talent."

    Interesting stat line from his 16-year old season.

    Latvia U-18 team (He'd have been 15/16) 27gp 33-21-54.

    If you Google him, this blog entry is the first match. That's how much is known about him, apparently.

    This is probably more Musil than Nilsson.

    I like the pick, usually coming at this point of the draft, the only skilled NA guys are 5''9 and below.

    The rest is hidden in Europe.
