The list reads like a who’s who of brilliant hockey minds. Different facets of hockey, mind you. But brilliant hockey minds nonetheless. The pieces are all starting to fall into place for the Oilers, but the elephant in the room remains the same. Goaltending.
It’s a bit of an uncomfortable situation for the Oilers going forward. MacTavish’s (reasonable) gamble on both Ben Scrivens and Viktor Fasth has not really paid off and yet another replacement is needed.
Fasth never really found his stride with the Oilers and is not expected to re-sign with the club.
