Stauffer telegraphing some roster moves..

Can forsee a scenario where the @EdmontonOilers carry Matt Savoie, Isaac Howard, David Tomasek, Noah Philp and Alec Regula on their opening day roster.
EDM needs internal growth and development from those players and for that matter Vasily Podkolzin and Ty Emberson as well.
|

Do all of those players but Tomasek needs waivers to be demoted? Certainly the early returns on all of them have been decent, but they're playing against scrubs and half-speed vets, so hard to tell for sure where they're at.
EDIT - I think Tomasek needs waivers too. He's looked like a player so far though.

No, Howard, Savoie, Tomasek are all waiver exempt.. but I doubt Tomasek will sit in Bako for long.. if at all.. he's got a Swede option sittin' there..
They'd lose Regula and Philp on waivers guaranteed.
I'd give Philp a spot just on merit.. really smart player, strong stick, decent wheels, good for-check, and can PK.. and he's 6'-4" .. he learned a lot about positional/defensive play while with UofA I'd imagine.. its rubbed off .. similar to Derek Ryan.
I think the only guy of teh 3 that are waiver expempt that might get sent down is Howard.. Savoie has a spot on merit.. and Tomasek looks like an NHL option .. plus likely has an agreement with the Oil that its NHL or a ticket home before he came over.. so probably not sent down..

McDrai just destroying the Canucks farm boys tonight.
Skinner remains painful to watch.
Sliding out of position on his first goal, goes down early too.
Spinning towards the back of his net for some unknown reason opening space for a deflection in front to more easily go in. Just giving himself zero chance to react, or just simply cover along the ice.
Fun season ahead!

Skinner might look different, but his play absolutely isn't. Same old, same old. .750 and .893 games in the preseason. Stu, that just simply isn't good enough against B-level squads. Figure yourself out or get out of the way.

That's the 2nd goal .. he's 6'-4" .. plays positional ..not reaction.. usually goes down early to "take away the bottom of the net" with the post to post "V" .. yet on this one his legs aren't covering the net for a the chance from a deflection..? be consistent bud.

The 360 spin before the goal was really impressive though. I can see the speed he gained losing those 15 lbs. I guess if he was 15lbs heavier, he might have been still facing the inside of his net as it went in.

Lol this is how I'll always remember Skinner when he is in the ECHL in a couple of years.
Still nice pre-season warm up for the best player in the world. McDavid looked pretty good too.

I've been trying to see Skinner and drown out the noise that he is regressing. Looking at he last two outings against the B squads and I'm like.. I think he got worse.
Pickard was decent in the jets game, never panicked for a moment, got the shutout too.
No way Skinner last the year.. no way.
The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.
Generally Disappointed.
