Why does anyone think Saros is a difference maker? What an overpay for the by the Oilers, for getting a more expensive no better goalie.

I tried to tell every Oiler fan on here in the summer that Skinner chokes in the playoffs and Hart was by far and away the better goalie just playing on a worse team. Everyone laughed at me. Hart obviously is useless cause he can’t even play right now but he’s 100% better than Skinner. Oilers should have jumped on him a year ago even tho it would have screwed them anyway

Ask Vancouver Canucks players if Saros is a difference maker.

Canucks had 18 shots on net. The difference in the game was DeSmith. You have won just as many playoff series as Saros has, and you want a difference maker?

I’m not saying skinner isn’t the answer, as he does have flaws. However, Darnell Nurse and that contract continue to make zero sense to me….

Agreed. It’s a boat anchor contract that no one would take on though - the oilers are stuck with Nurse.

Saros has been in the Vezina conversation 3 out of the last 4 years.

Bouchard will likely get Nurse level money or possibly even more if he can repeat what he did in 2024-25.
