Personnel-wise this team is worse than it was last year... regressing. Malone, Currie, Rattie, Lucic, Chaisson, Rieder, Khaira, Manning, Brodziak, Gambardella, Cave, all AHL speed and skill. Larsson, Benning, AHL speed Not looking goo dfor next year. Goalie was a problem before, looking to be a bigger problem next year after watching that cardboard cutout we have as a goalie lately... one we have for 2 more years at $4.5M Three years. I subconsciously thought this year was a burned contract year, three more years talking about goals that should have been stopped...

Somebody sent me the stat that of the 16 teams currently in a playoff position, 8 of them have two goalies that have played at least 30 games. Meanwhile Koskinen has played 24 of 25.

There's definitely a shift in how goalies are being used and once again the Oilers are way behind the curve (and going in the opposite direction). It shouldn't, but it continues to amaze me how they can be wrong about everything they do.
