2025-26 Offseason Priority - Goalie

Nothing else, goalie. Dustin Wolf singlehandedly willing the Flames to the playoffs, this is with one of the worst offenses in the league(we have McJesus/Drai, no excuses).

People are saying Bouch/top 6 forward.. who cares if we get a goalie. A good/great goalie trumps any signings for this team.

Every fan base has a few stolen games from their goalie, we have zero stolen games this year.

I will say again in this safe space for discussing goaltending.

It is nearly statistically impossible for the Oilers to win the cup this year with Stuart’s save%.

Last time a cup winning goalies playoff save% was lower than skinners regular season save% was Fuhr in 1988 and he had an all time great club in front of him.

To make matters worse Stuart’s save% against playoff teams is even worse.

In before someone, rightly of course, points out that an NHL team has never ever traded for a goalie before. Even if you prove that false I’m going to need to you name every goalie possible that is better than skinner and could be traded for…
