Not saying it won't happen (I'd love if we did get Grubauer), but I just don't see how it can. The big knock on this team for the last 2 seasons is that we've had bottom 5 goaltending (15/16-.899sv%, 16/17-.910sv%). Can Treliving afford to take a chance on any of Grubauer/Raanta/Pickard transitioning into a top 15 starting goaltender next season?
I think he's going to need to pay the assets required to bring in a sure thing. Is that Schneider? I want it to be Schneider, so bad.
I don't think anyone could deny that the success of the Oilers and dominance over us this past season has placed additional pressure on our management to not just make the playoffs, but to be a contender. We will never get there without a rock-star in goal.
