Great. You know what? That's his job.

Could the players up front play better? Absolutely. However, we get the impression that it seems the expectation you have is the players up front should take the full blame every time a goal goes in, but credit should be given in full for any 'difficult' save the goalies make.

The issue doesn't have to be mutually exclusive; both goalies and players can be shit at the same time. However, it is more often the goalies have been consistently shitty and being bailed out by the players up front. We are winning more games in spite of the shit goaltending; the goalies have rarely won us a game on their own.

If you know your team has average goaltending then you can't play an irresponsible defensive game that allows your opponent multiple high quality looks that would find the back of the net even with a hall of fame goalie between the pipes.
 
I could see this being a move signaling a Kovacevic deal.

Dumo-Hamilton
Dillon-Hughes
Siegenthaler-Pesce
Casey/Nemec

And it kinda makes sense with Hughes out, if they feel they can get a 1st for Kovacevic. Go from a 2nd to a 1st and Kova to Dumo in a year where your missing one of your best players. Your not selling off, pissing all your players off, but you are getting assets for a solid UFA.

Sharks listening on Ferraro​

The San Jose Sharks are listening on Mario Ferraro, 26, who has one more year on his deal next season at a $3.25 million cap hit. Pretty reasonable indeed. He’s a UFA when his deal expires in July 2026.

Listening doesn’t mean they’ll move him, but given the small number of D on the trade market, the Sharks are seeing what comes their way.

It just so happens that the Edmonton Oilers are in need of a defense addition.



Sigh….

That's true, but don't they also pay the least? Price of having 2 superstars I suppose. I've (like most here) wanted a better starter for years though, but the analysts and people running the Oilers apparently know better than us.

Has anyone done a basic analysis of Blackwood vs Georgiev this year on the Avs? Seems like a goalie upgrade can definitely be worth the investment.

edit: Looks like Blackwood is .921 as an Av vs .873 for Georgiev this year. So Blackwood is outperforming his numbers with San Jose (which were around .911). Georgiev is .884 with San Joe.

I thought Blackwood's performance with Colorado could be a good indication of what a goalie upgrade could net the Oilers, but unfortunately there isn't a comparable upgrade available.

No they’re not spending those savings on two stars. Lots of teams have high end talent. The Oilers are spending to pay Connor Brown 4 million, 10 million for Skinner, Arvidsson, and Henrique, 2.5 million overpayment on Nurse, 5 mill on Kane, several million in dead cap from buy outs.

Maybe Jersey know Kovacevic isn't going to re-sign

No doubt Ferraro is in well over his head in the role San Jose has him playing, but definitely a player I've never really seen the value in.

Guess he's in the right age range?
