I thought maybe they'd take a run at Garret Sparks, but playing in the ECHL is likely a preferable location to Edmonton.

Luckily for Sparks he’s a UFA so he can avoid Edmonton unlike whomever they claim off waivers next.

And now Forsberg is on the Covid list, so he’s not going back on waivers just yet... I don’t know if the Jets are straight trolling the Oilers, but I’m going to pretend they are...

Wow. That goaltending situation is a bit of a nightmare.

But thats okay! Kostinem has shown in the past that he can shoulder a ton of games with many, many shots against.

He has...right?

I hope they're forced into giving up a good asset to bring in a goalie.

About time a boat load of breaks go against them after riding the lottery train for free for years.

A lot of veteran tweeners tied up in taxi squad contracts. Normally, these guys would be over in Europe, in one of the few non-prospect AHL spots, or twiddling their thumbs in their agents office.

Sellers' market it appears.

The Oilers are only major injury from being last in the NHL.
If I were an Oiler fan, I would puke, then I would look at the top of the 2021 draft list to see who is available.

Oil got a good coach, and 2 players. That’s what they have going for them. Nothing much else.

Wait.

Did I miss something?
When did they stop?
Was it when they realized there was a salary and that they aren’t good at math?

Is he a good coach though? At this point who knows. Look at the production of everyone not Drai and McDavid, look at their awful defensive scheme. I'd argue that he's a mediocre coach with two great players and he does next to nothing to develop anything else.


And his actions in Arizona showed that he has character flaws.

What's the matter with Smith that he's on LTIR?

He watched the Oilers defence for a couple of games and decided #### it, I’m too old for this ####!!
