i would do everything to get roman josi, if you can't get him just go for best player available at the deadline
Easy, Gibson and Gudas for skinner and bouchdouche, would rather get josi and Saros but I doubt that’s at all possible
Guess what Liam, you can’t just run skinner again this year and hope he wins them a cup. Why the hell would you wait until the offseason to get insurance. We need it for this run and future ones
When the Oilers lose or Skinner has one bad night, everyone instantly is in panic mode…
Go get Vejmelka alrdy
just offer the canucks a 2nd for lankinen.
No to old. Honestly this tandem is ok. Will be in the finals.
im tired of hearing about gibson. the oilers will go into the playoffs with skinner and pickard and be just fine
Trade skinner we won't win a cup with him. We just wasting more years of prime mcdavid n drai. It's pathetic. We gave not had a good goalie in 20 years
Don’t need a goalie Stu and Picks have been amazing I don’t understand where this is coming from. Kick McDavid in the ass and tell him to get going guys looked med all season.
It’s tragic that we are wasting McDrais prime years with Skinner at net. Take a moonshot with gibson. it’s just so painful to see these guys work so hard every night to try to cover up skinners awfulness.
Don’t know who the answer is but it definitely isn’t Skinner!
Why do we keep bringing up Gibson an over the hill goalie that costs to much
Skinner costed us the series and probably a cup win in 2023 vs Vegas as they would have beat the Stars and a banged up Florida. 2024, he gets saved by Pickard in 2nd round and plays significantly worse than Bob in the final. Do we want to make it 3 years in a row where we lose cause of Skinner.
Gibson doesn't want to come here and be a backup or tandem he wants the #1 spot. Gibson and Pickard are not the answer. The only way you take Gibson is if he's willing to tandem and fight for the #1 spot, dont just give it to him.
Nobody should trust skinner, ride with skinner and another year of supernova Drai and year of McDavid on a cheap contract wasted
Gibson wants to be the man. Many anti-Skinner losers have recency bias here. You are playing with fire with Gibson and I would say a Gibson – Picard duo is not better.
John Gibson sounds like another jack Campbell
What would i give up for Skinner? Skinner. Pickard/Gibson=Perfecto
So concerned about money or disruption to the team blah blah blah. This thinking is shortsighted. If Skinner plays his usual erratic game and starts costing the oilers wins in the playoffs like he has, you will wish the oilers had made a trade. You're not the gm let him worry about making the money work. The oilers would be so much better a team than they already are with consistent predictable good to great goaltending.
