I mean, goaltending is the biggest need, (Expected goals against is 12th and actual is 28th) but there aren't any starting goaltenders currently available for pennies on the dollar.
I believe the Oilers still have enough cap space to add that goalie if Koskinen is sent the other way, assuming one becomes available.

Good luck finding a taker for Koskinen. Who exactly will willingly upgrade your goaltender for you while taking on a worse one?
Having just enough room doesn't make it a realistic possibility.
The more you wander from your cave of shame, and after a Kane signing no less (the potential risks of which you can't even acknowledge - nice assessment there), the more you're inviting even more ridicule in your future.
Are you guys ever capable of taking a wait and see approach on anything before counting your acquisitions/victories? Like hasn't history shown you repeatedly that this always comes back to blow up in your face? Not sure I'll ever understand Oiler fan thinking, or lack thereof.
