I would think that's an ecosystem that a goalie would be wise to avoid. Jack Campbell and Skinner are cautionary tales. And not like Oilers will have spare change to throw around next season.

I suspect the Canucks might invest in him tbh, seeing where this is heading with Demko uncertainty and Silovs struggles.

I could see the Oilers going full panic mode if they flame out and underperform (again) and Lanny is looking to get paid, so I could see some stupid deals being done to clear capspace in the short term.

Lankinen has juuuuuuust the right level of unprovenness for the Oilers to go all in for him for it to explode spectacularly in their faces. Not saying Lanny is going to not work out, just that the potential for high comedy is there.

I dont think the Canucks are going to let Lankinen go

i usually preach caution with extensions -- for goalies especially -- but i think if they can get him under 5m per they need to seriously consider it. silovs is iffy to be a starter imo and even if demko makes it all the way back they're going to need a 1b guy
