This shouldn't even be a debate aside from the old regional sports team loyalties.

Doesn't mean he is a legit number 1. Being better than the crap we have here is not a high bar. Like I said there was a stretch where Berra looked unreal to start the season (playing in front of a crappy D Corp) and he has fallen back down to earth.
Nilsson looks good now but has more to prove before we can call him a legit number 1 worthy of a number 1 contract/cap hit.
The Oilers did spend quality assets acquiring another backup in Talbot who is nothing more than a backup
