Oilers sign 2020 draftee F Tyler Tullio to 3-year ELC

Tullio played in Slovakia last season with the OHL shutdown, but is expected to return to Oshawa and captain the Generals.

Morning, folks! The Links take Labour Day off, but the Edmonton Oilers apparently do not. This just in, from the team’s official Twitter account:

Tullio, currently listed at 5’10’’ 165 pounds, was drafted in the fifth round, 126th overall, in 2020 after a tidy 27-39-66 in 62 GP with Oshawa. He’s since followed that up by dipping his toes in professional hockey, collecting 4-9-13 in 19 GP as a teenager in Slovakia. This year he’ll be back in Oshawa — where he was named captain last week — but will head back to Edmonton in a few days to prepare for Oilers Rookie Camp. He’s collected 2-1-3 in two OHL preseason games for the Generals.

Tullio also took part in Team Canada’s WJHC Summer Showcase as part of the extended group of players in contention to make the World Juniors team. Arrows up, young man.

(Now sign Kailer Yamamoto, Ken.)
