No matter what happens with Pickard or our goaltending in general, hope people know who the real culprit is in forcing Knob to make this decision.
Holland left us with the goalie that melted down last playoffs, a $5M goalie that melted down 2 years in a row plus struggled to find any footing in the AHL this year, and Calvin Pickard.
I think almost everyone in this forum foresaw a strong possibility that what has happened in these playoffs now would happen. Holland chose to just sit back and hope things would just work out for him in his last year of his $25,000,000 contract. In this season the whole org knew is crucial for the future of Drai and McDavid here. Just hopes the prayers from our lazy GM.

Who's the goalie the Oilers should have brought in? This isn't me sticking up for Old man Holland, I just see the same thing. So let's see a name.
As an example, I can't remember every trade that happened this year, but the only goaltender I can recall moving was Allen and Kahkonen. Do you think the Oilers should have out bid the Devils for Allen?
I am not looking for doubling down on Holland sucks. I am completely aware of your opinion on the guy and his short comings. I deal in solutions. So who's the goalie the Oilers should have got?
Let's keep in mind:
- Flames ownership stopped a trade of Markstrom because they wanted to keep him to stay in the hunt. So he's off the table.
- Preds weren't trading Saros because he got them to the playoffs.
- Fleury (who I never wanted, he's old and not good) stated he wasn't waiving his NMC.
- Mrazek got resigned.

Allen and Kahkonen and one of the guys from Buffalo and you give Oliver a look and you bring Campbell back up later in the year and you get someone else in the minors just in case. Remember, when Adin Hill won a Cup he was Vegas' 5th goalie that year. That doesn't include Lehner who is off on his snake farm, Fluery who they dumped, or Grubbauer who they let go.
When you're trying to win a Stanley cup you can't leave yourself without an answer in net.
I don't even mind that Pickard is one of the potential answers, he's in the Allen, Kahkonen, random Buffalo guy zone. He just can't be the second goalie and the goalie of last resort. The fact that Oliver isn't up here is outrageous.
Edit: Grubby was Colorado. I was thinking of Broissoit.
