Hell be one of the shortest hires if they lose directly cause of goaltending. I don't think he survived and Jackson definitely shouldn't after all the wrong calls he made free agency.

David Staples? His source on the article is Frank's BS from Friday lol
Do you know when this was said? Friday.
Why did Bowman say the opposite yesterday?
Man half of this shit on this board and twitter is being said because of what Bowman said on Friday. Yet his minds altered after the weekend lmao
It's gonna be funny if LA wins the division. They're starting to roll.

Nah, Peak Oilers would be Kane coming back before the deadline and the Oiler trading Kulak, Arvidsson, a 1st and Akey for Risto and Scott Laughton($1M Retained) at the deadline, then getting Josh Mahura from SEA to be 3LD.
The game 7 defence of Skinner has a fatal flaw though. His play earlier on in the series was partly why they had to play 7 games. His play vs Vancouver was also why that series extended. Yet he was lights out vs Dallas.
And therein lies the problem, his consistency is sorely lacking. You either get Good Skinner or his evil twin Bad Skinner, often in the same game.
That said, I don’t think that there is much to choose between the 3 goalies being discussed. I just take Binnington on the winning pedigree.
The Oilers becoming a team of McDavid + Draisaitl + 10 other "bottom 6" players sounds about right for how things go around here.

Christ, imagine posting this just so your son can shit the bed and derail another season. You’re no Oiler fan.

At some point doesn't one have to pivot away from outside speculators to the actual team decision makers and an organization that's proudly declared its aspirations to become a best in class one based on information based decision making processes including a bulked analytics support function?
The Summer of Jeff is taking on water with basically all of their decision making, spending choices and terrible asset management. Now the cap accrual contingency plan appears to be in some jeopardy.
Point the arrows to the people actually making personnel decisions versus outside voices who just talk about this team and its personnel decisions and choices.

Oilers GM Stan Bowman focusing on 'full picture' ahead of trade deadline
The Oilers are on a three-game losing skid and quite likely playing their worst hockey of the season. But Oilers GM Stan Bowman is trying not to let the recent skid sway his deadline approach, and is instead focusing on the "full picture."

Because the reporting coming out is that this isn't actually how they're "playing it". Oilers management truly does not have a clue what their cap situation is going to be and what the status of Kane is and that they are actually waiting for him to tell them in a week's time.
I feel like Kane is coming back before the end of the reg season and hasn't been interested in keeping the team informed.

Well that confirms it, no tender guys. Spec says they're looking, so of course he's wrong. Thanks for confirming Skinner ride or die Tambo.Spector in his article with Bownman yesterday didn’t rule out goalie conversations where there is smoke there is fire

Holy crap, you have a hard time keeping up. Do you read the board?

Gibson gotta be really pressuring Anaheim at this point. Maybe a 2nd round pick

So that's what it does seem to signal, is there any reporting out there about a move?

No reports other than his injury isn't serious, so getting a 3rd goalie is a pretty good indicator somebody is on the way out

Fair, it also keeps them over the cap floor, I just wanted to confirm that nothing was breaking or brewing that I might have missed, thanks kindly.
Binningtons final went seven games as well and he had a couple poor games in that series and the run as a whole had some bad games. Yes he won game seven, and the 4N tourney but that had everyone questioning his start in the final and now he’s a legend? Out side of the overtime’s people on here were constantly calling him Skinner.

Yeah, turns out it's better for your reputation if you deliver in crunch time rather than fall flat.
Not that I think Binnington is a world beater or anything.

SPEEN!
I mean, only Mattias Janmark delivered in the clutch in that particular game.
