Its not a huge bump in goaltending, I mean Jarry has to play behind that defense and lazy forward group.

Kulak leaving that blueline and Stastney stepping in feels like a downgrade, though Stastney is younger. But right now he's averaging about 5 minutes less a game then Kulak and is a bottom pairing guy, but who knows maybe he's a defensive wizard that I don't know about.

Poulin is a former first round draft pick that seems to be having trouble doing anything at an NHL level but the Oilers have to be desparate for some youth in their system and he's still only 24.

The Oilers give up draft picks that they can't really afford to give up, but they suck at drafting outside of the first round anyways.

This is at best a lateral move, but downgrading the blueline for a new goalie isn't much of a answer.
