Frank Seravalli compares Emberson to formidable Blackhawks defenceman
Edmonton Oilers newest defenceman has been compared to a formidable blue-liner from Chicago as per Frank Servalli.
The Edmonton Oilers traded defenceman Cody Ceci and a third-round draft pick in 2025 to the San Jose Sharks on Sunday for defenceman Ty Emberson. Now, Emberson has emerged as the favourite to play alongside Darnell Nurse on the Oilers second pairing.
According the Hockey Writers, trusted pundit Frank Seravalli praised Emberson and called him a potential breakout candidate. However, he might have worried some fans when he spoke about his contract situation. Emberson is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) and if he pans out, he could be looking for a raise. If so, Seravalli drew a comparison to Chicago Blackhawk Alex Vlasic.
Oilers fans are rooting for Emberson to have a breakout campaign with the Oilers. Bob Stauffer has called Emberson a "lock" to crack the starting roster, as well as having an instrumental role on the Oilers power play.
Being compared to the like of Alex Vlassic further emphasizes that the Oilers made a "slam-dunk" trade in regards to the departure of Cody Ceci.
