Pickard’s last NHL season where he was over .900 was 2016-17. That’s your reason. He’s 31 and not an NHL goalie. I predict going forward this will burn us by overplaying Skinner (because even the Oilers know he’s not an NHL goalie) or we will lose the starts he does get (god forbid Skinner get injured).
Rodrigue is 23, is tracking well, and actually might be an NHL goalie.
There is no option here to take the long term view on a prospect. If they can help the team be better, call them up. Failure is not an option, and while the winning streak was very needed, we are still on the outside.
We know the current deployment of running Skinner for 15 out of 17 games or whatever is unsustainable. Rodrigue should get a look while the Oilers find more options. He might surprise whereas we know exactly what Pickard is. 1 win against a back to back New Jersey devils team doesn’t change that.
Clean house or bust
