Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | The Oilers Biggest Roster Need Is?

You can only be started in the top six and shit the bed for so long before your a bottom 12 player.

Yeah because Nuge, Hyman and Podkolzin have all done so much to be stapled in the top 6 for the past dozen games.

Agreed, except that we are paying less for goaltending than pretty much every team in the league. $3.6M for two guys.

Is anyone paying less?

And what are the complainers willing to sacrifice (let’s be realistic… nobody is taking on Nurse) to bolster the position?

I’m for Blackwood, but even that requires cap creativity.

I wasnt aware of that the Oilers were the lowest in the League.
Thats stunning.

How is it that a team that is in their Stanley Cup window builds their team is such a way that goaltending becomes the lowest priority on the team?
They ultimately decide that low rent goaltending is their ticket to a Stanley Cup.
Amazing.

This wasn’t plan A plan A was Jack Campbell with skinner as an up and coming back up.

That is what Holland did in Detroit in years they did not have Hasek

None of them have been playing all that great. I'd add Arvidsson to that list as well.
