Yea thats not gonna work for the Oilers. Yamo is a good PKer and middle 6 guy. Not flushing all that draft capital for a soon to be 34 year old goalie.

I'll say it a million times. The oilers needs a younger goalie (24-28) who can be the starter for the longer term. I do not want either Smith or Koskinen back next year. Smith is proving to be unreliable in terms of his health and Koskinen has been way too inconsistent to be reliable over the last few seasons. Having said that, Koskinen has been great this year. Still letting in muffins over game or two, but he's been shutting it down after those weak ones. So for the time being, we ride with Koskinen and Skinner. It makes no sense to move that many assets away for at best a marginal upgrade for this season, then be tied to another of Varlamovs contract.

Given that its unlikely a good young goalie won't be moved during the season, the best course of action for the Oilers is to start with a blank slate in the summer. Let Skinner ride backup and get a legitimate starter.

It makes no sense t
