NHL Rumors: The Edmonton Oilers Struggles Proceed, and Areas of Need are Growing
And that’s the Edmonton goaltending situation, each men within the crosshairs. Stuart Skinner, obviously, had an enormous shutout afternoon. That is before. But is there still panic in Edmonton about Stuart Skinner?”
Elliotte Friedman: “I still think overall, like one game isn’t probably going to alter plenty of people’s opinion, however it toned down the rhetoric at the very least for a couple of hours. The thing about that is that after they got pummeled by Dallas this week, I believe plenty of us myself included, were type of like, possibly it’s just time Ron, Possibly it’s just time they make a change for their very own sake, for Skinner’s sake, for everyone’s sake, they only take a break they usually move on.
A few things. Primary, Skinner has not asked out. That didn’t occur. I believe a pair of individuals were wondering if that might have happened this week. It didn’t occur. Number two, he did an autograph signing the opposite night. Like, I got to inform you, if it was me presently, I’d have been within the witness protection program. So a lot respect for Skinner that he did it.
And number three, the Oilers have made enough calls, and teams call you once you’re going through a nasty week. And the teams on the market which have those extra goalies, or goalies, they’re willing to maneuver, like Columbus, Buffalo, Pittsburgh.

They might fairly make no move than what they think can be a nasty move, or a panic move, or a move simply to do it. So I assume this can be a great distance of claiming that I don’t consider the Oilers philosophy has modified in any respect.
Despite the very fact, after that Dallas game this week, plenty of us were wondering if it will.”
