Philip Kemp (5)

Edmonton Oilers‘ 7th round pick in the 2017 draft (#208 overall), sizable, sturdy 6’3″ 203 lbs. defensemen Philip Kemp(5) leaves Yale University after 3 seasons and a COVID-stifled 2020/2021 season to turn up in Sweden’s tier 2 league Allsvenskan on loan to Vasby IK.

In 32 games he’s got 3 goals and 7 assists with a woeful -15 rating but is now in the playoffs with a pair of tallies and a +2 through 5 outings.

A consistent presence on the blue line, he was only a marginal point producer through college and two years of USNTDP but will be looked to for his built to guard the zone, when his 3-year entry level deal kicks in next season.
