you watched Oilers games this year, he let in a soft goal a game...it started in the season opener against Winnipeg

all we need is average goaltending and he'll be a huge upgrade over Dubnyk

So what happened to Bryzgalov? Is he below average as well? There is no way that goaltending is the problem in Edmonton. Even if they had an all world goaltender, they would not solve the dysfunction in the way the team plays.
Scrivens for a third isn't a bad trade in isolation, but I don't think it really addresses the problems in Edmonton, so it does seem like kind of a waste of an asset. Especially since they don't have a second round pick this year, either. If Scrivens does well and signs on long term, I suppose this will be seen as a good deal down the line, but if it doesn't it will be another move in a long line of moves that just keeps the Oilers spinning their tires.
