Bryz gets a bad rap from the media, he's a decent goalie with spouts of brilliance (or a great goalie with spouts of embarrassment) and he's a big improvement over Dubnyk. I would have been quite happy had the Flames taken a flier on him.
Remember, your ability to stop pucks and your ability to talk about space and the wonders of the universe don't have to be connected.
It wouldn't be "that bad of a move", but only because it would be utterly pointless. And that is because I disagree with you on him being an upgrade on Dubnyk. With Bryz or without, the Oilers are going to get mediocre goaltending that is occasionally great and often poor. So why bother?

Incidentally, it should be noted that this isn't a rumour. This is just a Sportsnet columnist asking "why not?"
