So just pull the goalie for 60 then? Throw our hands up and tell Connor to start training in goal? Nothing can be done, waive the white flag and contract the team.
Fire Schwartz and conduct an actual goalie coach search that involves actually looking elsewhere than the f***ing Oil Kings. We went up that well so many times for the draft and it didn’t work out once.

2 seasons ago may as well be a lifetime ago for most goalies. Stu sucks maybe Mackenzie does too but at worst they are comparable players.

He clicks with Drai but they just haven't gone in for him yet.
They aren’t going in because he has awful aim. He is scoring at Podkolzin clip which isn’t even remotely good enough for a top 6 player.
Arvidsson will be lucky to hit 30 points this year.

so using assets for a "maybe he's better the Skinner" goalie is one of the stupidest things you can do

As opposed to doing nothing and probably winning nothing in the next few years? Yeah I'd rather take a chance. Who exactly is this team "saving" assets for? A Sidney Crosby trade?

The multiple injuries can also be impacting his shot mechanics. Age as well and that he's not particularly strong. Not like he's ripping them either. Once in awhile he gets a good shot off but almost all of these even if on net should be stopped. People were saying to put this guy on first PP. Why? I'm wondering why he's topsix.
He is Ryan McLeod but on the downswing instead of the upswing. The fact that Kapanen took Arvidssons spot for a bit and it didn’t make the team worse should be incredibly telling.

Dude literally had a 2 point game the game prior.

The coach has the genius idea to move him off that line immediately.

The Oilers deserve what they get. You want to be stupid and jerk players around the lineup like that just as they're finding a sliver of chemistry somewhere, don't come crying later on that something isn't working.

Hockey gods gifted the Oilers a look at something that worked and they choose to be stubborn ass hats and go straight back to something that wasn't working and then complain about it.

none of you can say with a straight face you wouldn’t trade J Skinner for Foegele straight up.

Ehhh, I don't mind McLovin, but he doesn't really help this team as much. Kapanen more or less fills a similar role.

Get someone like Frederic who brings some legit size, but is also struggling this year and that would be a better fit.

He had one good game. That put him to 7 points on the season. He sucks. Arvidssson and Skinner stealing a combined 7 mill from the lineup.
