DAVID MUSIL RUMORS & GOSSIP
2913 Draft Watch Mason Geertsen
Trades can never be easy. In order to get something of value, you have to lose something of value and often times more. And so it was for the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL in their quest to acquire veteran defenceman and Edmonton Oilers’ prospect David Musil, then of the Vancouver Giants. Many saw this trade as inevitable, as this is Musil’s last season in the WHL, and he was...
Adam French: Making the Czech World Junior Squad: Defense and Goalie
Defense:
David Musil â The Oilers product is a very good shutdown defenseman that plays with a physical edge. He also has some growing offensive awareness. Heâs been solid but unspectacular internationally but will now have a chance as the squadâs top defender to show what he can do.
Marek Hrbas â Hrbas is another return player. The 5â11 defender...
David Musil Stays Positive
For some, hockey bloodlines run deep. And while those bloodlines may help a player get their foot in the door, that’s going to be as far as it can take you. At some point, talent has to take front and centre stage. With David Musil, his bloodlines helped develop him into a WHL player, but it was his talent that got him drafted 31st overall at the 2010 NHL entry draft, and a position...
David Musil Makes Rare Calgary Appearance
David Musil was the first son of an ex-Oiler drafted at the 2011 NHL entry draft in St. Paul Minnesota. You couldn’t help but wonder if he was selected for his bloodlines or his abilities, but knowing that Musil had been ranked anywhere from 23 (The Hockey News) and 38 (CSS for N.A. skaters) taking the defenceman at 31 was reasonable. When Steve Tambellini talked about the sons...
David Musil at the 2012 WJC
For the 2010 NHL entry draft there were several sons of former Oilers available, and the concern of whether or not those players may be selected for their blood ties before their hockey skills appeared real enough. When it came to David Musil, son of Edmonton Oilers’ European scout Frank Musil, selected 31st overall, concerns were quickly set aside. Musil had been ranked anywhere...

#10 Prospect: David Musil
If we're playing favorites, David Musil is near the top of my list. He was so calm in pre-season that one could easily project him into the future as steady, reliable defender. Lots of PK, tough EV minutes and plenty of grit and toughness. Winter 2011: #10Summer 2011: #8Redline report: His father, Frank, was a longtime NHL defenseman and currently a highly respected scout....
