This is the guy that's going to help turn things around for the Oilers? He's probably got less compete than the character-lacking goofs he'll be joining.

This is the big issue for me.
Yes, the Oilers have had bad goaltending.
But they have also had horrid team defense. And they have dressing room issues and entitlement issues.
You aren't going to fix the goaltending until you fix the defensive play.
And you aren't going to fix the team defense until you get commitment from all the players.
And you aren't going to get commitment and buy-in from all the players until you fix the room.
So what do they do?
Move out a solid Dman and bring in one of the biggest head cases in the league over the last few years - a guy that quits on his team-mates.
Sounds like a plan MacT!
