Keep it rolling for us Carolina. We’ll give you a discount on a goalie if you embarrass the oilers tomorrow night.
I wonder at what point the Canadian sports media (both TSN and sportsnet) will give up on the oilers this season? Despite all they have seen… most of them seem to act like it’s only a matter of time before they break out and win 12 games in a row… all they need to do is trade for a goalie.
If they lose these next two games (Carolina and Washington) before American Thanksgiving, they will be at the very least 8 points back of a wild card position. Would be very funny to see Oilers management double-down on this team at that point by trading away their first round pick for a goalie. And I think there is no way to trade for a goalie without including their first round pick simply because such a trade will require sending Campbell back as a salary dump. Forgetting anything else in the trade… that alone requires at least a first round pick from Edmonton. And any goalie they get will be behind that oilers defensive structure (or lack there of) so it would, in all likelyhood, be one of the biggest waists of a season, a first round pick, and two franchise players in NHL history. Especially since this outcome likely leads to Draisaitl and McDavid leaving the franchise.
