In other words, the clock is ticking loudly on top Edmonton Oilers prospects Caleb Jones, Ethan Bear and William Lagesson. Almost all top NHL d-men break in between ages 18 and 23Why do I say this? By looking at the age at which Top 4 NHL d-men in the league this year established themsleves as NHLers.

Lagesson has already played 67 games in his one AHL season, Bear has played 89 in two seasons, and Jones 111.
