Sean Maloughney: Oilers Claim Stalock off Waivers

The Oilers now have three backup net minders does this mean they are going to move one for an asset?

Lol nah. The oilers have been cursed in net since the Dwayne Roloson run of 2006. They will keep everyone. They have a hard time keeping healthy and getting quality starts,

So, are they going to carry 3 goalies, or are we just going to be reading that another team re-plucked him off of waivers in a couple days time.

Holland’s a genius!

For picking up a third string goalie at less than 800k capable of filling in if someone goes down? Genius might be a little strong but it's certainly a fine depth move for the roster.

I'm not sure what you find negative about this waiver claim for a cheap backup who put up very decent numbers in 38 starts with a bad Wild team last year. Maybe you should be a little more concerned with the moves your team of choice is (or isn't) making.

Turris has been a train wreck, but all other acquisitions have been decent enough.

Oilers fans are relatively happy. Koekkoek has scored more goals than Simon and Leivo combined!

Does Stalock have to go through waivers again when the Oil send him down?

I don't think it's possible to keep McDavid and Draistel off the scoreboard for 3 games in a row but we'll see

The Oilers have a path to the championship this season all they need to do Is put all three of there backup goaltenders In the net at once. There wide open no defense style I must say Is fun to watch.

New Blog?

Just read that Matthews is back. Should be another bloodbath, but who knows? Might disrupt the chemistry by rebalancing lines
