I think there's options out there, Ken's gotta jump quick and get a guy in quarantine. Stalock I'm not too familiar with, I would love to see ken swing for the fences on a good goalie.
|
I’m doubting the goaltending can be fixed before the off season when there is cap room. I realize the time is now, but not crazy about mortgaging the future yet. Yet...

Here's my counter-argument:
Toronto 90 GF, 63 GA 18-6-2
Edmonton 86 GF, 82 GA 16-11-0
Carolina 85 GF, 64 GA 17-6-1
Tampa Bay 83GF, 48 GA 17-4-2
The Oilers are among the elite teams in the league at scoring goals this year, so even a marginal improvement in goal could make a pretty big difference. Looking at the records of those other teams, it makes a massive difference.
If you can beat Toronto, you can go to the Conference Finals this year, and there's no world beater in the Western Division (although now it occurs to me that I don't know how the Conference Finals are seeded...)
I think a goalie who can win you games puts this team in a position to make a serious run this year even with the roster's other flaws. If you can tweak a little at the deadline and convince the coach to take the occasional chance with a young guy like Bouchard, the world's your oyster here.
|
Great points, but a teams GA doesn’t fall entirely on the goaltender. Don’t mistake this statement as an endorsement for our goaltending tandem though. Like you say, a goalie can win you a game here and there. I just think if some of these comparisons were trying to get it done with the Oilers D corps, the differential would not be as glaring as you are illustrating. But yes, our tandem is the worst of those 3 clubs indeed.
|
Our D aren’t world beaters, but the only time they looked horrendous tonight was on a clumsy, but successful Koskinen save. I agree. A goalie makes us a contender. It NEEDS to be a priority.
