I think it will be Caggiula getting recalled. They will demote Dermott to keep acquiring cap space. Also solves the veteran max issue in Bako.

You know your depth is bad when Caggiula would be the best option

He's not and he won't.

I don't care if Edmonton somehow gets gifted a #2 dman somehow and make it work, we still have a goalie I don't trust whatsoever.

Just look a that pathetic Cup winning goal he lets in. I don't care if Kulak backed off. Bad goal.

Get a f****in goalie and try to get rid of him. Our D issues are overrated. YES, we need a #4, but we don't give up sh** loads of chances and we are good at shot supression.

Games like yesterday, you see a guy just letting in 3 goals on 6 shots then 4 on 10, it's demoralizing

Dreger said on the EST morning show that Bowman is working aggressively now to get Edmonton top 4 help.

He also said he doesn’t think it’s a high ankle sprain so it might not be too long

McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman and Bouchard had 0 points in Game 7
blame the big boys last year, just like the start of this season

Hope it's not the knee.

holy shit you watch and listen to everything Oiler related lol
in any case, there's a top 4 d-man in St. Louis...(I kid)

Parayko? Faulk?

I'd buy low on Buffalo players. A lot of them turn their career around once they're on a new team

If we do anything sell high on Skinner surely he’s worth something with the amount of people he has fooled

Or just sell on him period. The lack of consistency is just a problem.

Don't care. That goal should not have gone in and it should have been tied for them to get a shot to take the lead

Why the excuses for shit goaltending? Did Tkahcuk and Co tear it up? No. Their goalie kept bailing them out when itcounted

McDavid and Co have scored 5 plenty of times to bail the marshmallow man out

We don;t even need a great goalie. We need somebody who can physically post above average numbers lol. Not 3+ GAA and sub 900% constantly

I don't see this happening, unfortunately. The stache and nice, carefree attitude warps the perception of many.

He's not really worth anything outside of Edmonton. Maybe a mid pick. Oilers fans(Stuart fans) are the only ones that value him

I mean this is ever green, Oilers players are only valuable in Edmonton.

McLeod

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

McLeod

Right, they had to give him away.

 

[Canovin]

I personally sell off Stuart Skinner now. Get a 1M goalie. That's another 1.5M on top of the potential 5M accrue cap space.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Should call Philly, who's having issues, try to flip Skinner for Ersson.

Or move him to Wash for Thompson and Bear.

That would be too smart a move.

Stuart and Derek Ryan for Thompson and Nick Dowd

Doing accounting gets boring man. Might as well listen to something while looking at numbers

I dont remember where I read it but someone put even just posting league average numbers, we'd be winning more than losing

 

[K1984]

I think we've only lost in the range of 6-8 games total that we've had over .900 SV% in the last 3 seasons. That number might even be high.

It's interesting if you look at Pittsburgh, they had game 7s in all their Cup runs where they could have lost:

Pittsburgh Game 7 SCF 2009 (win Cup), Pens 2, Red Wings 1
Crosby 0 points, Malkin 1 assist
MAF - .958 save percentage, only allows 1 goal
Pens win 2-1 and win the Cup, Max Talbot scores both Pittsburgh goals.
Game winning goal is Talbot from Kunitz + Scuderi

Some times you need more than just your big guns and great goaltending goes a long way.


Pittsburgh Game 7 ECF 2016 (they win the Cup this year too), Pens 2-Lightning 1
Crosby 0 points, Malkin 2 secondary assists, Kessel 0 pts
Bryant Rust (!) scores both goals for Pittsburgh
Matt Murray .941 save percentage, only allows 1 goal


Pittsburgh Game 7 ECSF 2017 (win Cup) Pens 2-Caps 0
Crosby 1 secondary assist, Malkin 0 pts, Kessel 0 pts
Rust + Hornqivst are the goal scorers
MAF - Gets the Shut Out Win


That's 3 Cups they probably do not have without their goaltending. Three game 7s where their goaltending allowed 1 goal or less (!). It matters, yes even one extra save in a game 7 makes a big difference.

I mean, he did have a shutout the previous game, and played great against the 'Canes

yes he needs consistency...but it seems like every single goalie we get turns into a pumpkin when they arrive here

meanwhile, Bouchard, Hyman RNH have a combined 11 points in 10 games....unacceptable

and you assume the Oilers were gonna score the next goal for some reason
