If there was a season to have everything go wrong. This is it. Just look at that draft...
But Pickard will probably come up and dominate and we will make the playoffs. Right?

Any idea how long Varly will be out?
Haven't heard anything yet myself but I'd have to imagine it would be a similar timeframe to the last one.
^ Is that an Oiler's jersey being thrown?
Time to shut Varly down, don't want to ruin his groin if he's going to be our goalie of the future.
Wouldn't they want to have a decent goalie developing in the system? Maybe at some point he could be an asset but nobody is going to trade for a 22 year old prospect goalie.
Kind of leads into a thought/question I had. So let's say Varly is out a while (month or longer let's say) so the plan is probably to give Picks a majority of the starts. What if he does fine but inconsistent? Do they bring someone like a vet in or just live with it and fully admit they've thrown in the towel? It's tough to see them use the contract spot and cap space to scratch out a few more meaningless points but at what point do they waive the white flag. Of course if Picks plays fantastic it's not even a question.
