Because some are convinced ANYONE is better than that which we have. Regardless of the numbers the goalies have because their bad numbers are based solely on the fact they are playing on a bad team not that the goalie is bad

It’s to the point I think that some here truly feel the Oilers would be near undefeated, and potentially the greatest team of all time if they just had a different goalie. That effectively seems to be the expectation.
 
You don't get rid of one of the 2 goalies we have to bring in a career minor leaguer who's hit a hot streak. The minute Ingram gets back to being a no name, we will be screaming again.

You bring in experience and a legit proven goalie who has shown a history of good goaltending under Tough circumstances.

Varlamov or Quick, would look great behind our defensive system.

Quick is 39 years old. Varlamov will be 37 in April. If they are coming in, it's a mentor to Skinner.

The problem with having cheap goalies like Skimner is that he's going to be 33 in April. You kind of already know what he is.

Ingram on the other hand could be the the next Hill or Thompson. He's only 27and will be 28 in March. He's basically the same age as Thompson and has never had a great team in front of him.

Jeff Skinner is going to be 33 in April

Stu is younger than Hill and Thompson

Would you guys do a 1st for Gibson at 50%? Comes to 3.2M AAV and we get him for 3 cup runs.

His current numbers to me seem similar to Ingram or Vejmelka at their peak, but with the bonus of high pedigree and absolutely stellar numbers when he broke into the league. There's potential to unlock if he's reinvigorated by joining a cup contender and plays behind a top 5 defense corps in the league. He's also capable of becoming a true 1A and only 31 years old.
