I’m 100% on board with them letting the top pp unit to spend 2 hours going 5 v 0 against Stalock to get him ready to be Smith’s backup.
There’s no confidence in Koskinen. He stinks. Put a fork him in. He’s done.

Put Chiasson in net!
|
I vote we dress Russell as the playoff backup. The only redeeming qualities his fan club can bring up are his toughness and shot blocking. Toss the big pads on him and he can sit on the bench. If the worst case scenario happens and Smith gets hurt Russell cant be a worse option.
Smith is almost as important a piece to stay healthy in the playoffs as McDavid.
|
Arguably more important. Which drop off is further? McDavid to Draisaitl or Smith to Koskinen?
|
Smith to Koskinen. Though, I’d argue the drop off isn’t as far Smith to Stalock. “BuT sTaLoCk HaSn’T pLaYeD a GaMe ThIs SeAsOn”... but Patrick Russell played 8, and Stuart Skinner played (and won) one.
How big of a fail was it to let Alex Nedeljkovic slip through waivers after losing Forsberg? Dude has been legit with Carolina this season. Yes. Yes. Carolina is a good team. Dude went 15-5-3 with a 1.90 GAA and .932%.
Dream scenario; Make a deal with Seattle to take Koskinen. Though, I still think Buffalo is where he’d land.
|
Will Stalock ever play a games for us?
Sucks how little I trust this orgs ability to scout, develop or manage goalies. It's a massive blind spot this org has carried for some time now.
|
Well, he’s still under contract next season. I would think he’s got a good shot to be Schmiddy’s backup next season, if not sooner (seriously... Koskinen has 0 confidence). Can’t imagine Seattle taking Stalock, heck he may be the one the Oilers protect. There’s no way they protect Koskinen. If they do... holy schamoly. That window the Edmonton media clowns spoke about for next season slams shut.
I have some faith the little Russian could be something for us. Skinner had a good season in the A after his 10 game benching and 1 (winning, tho horrific) start up here.
|
Love the idea that our Russian goalie pick works out, but he's pretty small. Pretty much the only goalie that size in the NHL is Halak. It'll be interesting to see if the Oilers trust it - even if his numbers are good. Very few have had much faith in Halak through his career, despite the fact he's been really good everywhere.
|
If he’s Halak, I think that’s a pretty good win.
