I knew the Oilers would have to overpay for a goalie but for Jarry? That just doesn't feel like the missing piece. I hope it works out but sheesh this feels like a fleece.
Bowman is a terrible gm he ruined Chicago now he’s gonna ruin the oilers he really overplayed for a goalie who’s extremely inconsistent and injury prone and who’s not any better then skinner 😂 and no playoff history the fact he was on waivers and no team wanted him last year explains a lot stu will be the better goalie oilers just have a terrible goalie development system
Good trade Stan. Trade for a VERY SLIGHT goaltending upgrade (at the moment stats wise), an AHL player, a defenceman who will likely be an AHL player once Walman returns, with no retention whatsoever on the expensive goalie. Giving up our marginally worse goaltender, Kulak who awakens in the playoffs every year, a 2nd rounder (WHAT) and a 3rd!
Oh edmonton lost that trade. Jarry has never won a playoff round. Was in the ahl last year because he wasn't good. You give up skinner who has made it to the finals twice. Bowman is a joke!
This is a fine trade. People scream at not getting blackwood, look at georgievs stats compare it with skinner, look at blackwoods stats and compare it with jarry. Its closer than it looks. Look at ilya samsonov, better numbers than stu, a year older and got banished to the KHL. This is a fine trade
Thank you to Stewart Skinner for giving his all to his hometown team. Some media and rabid fans need to stop chasing talent out of the city. I wish this was a hockey trade where the team gets better in net. However, I don't think we are a better team today.
Should have snagged Carter Hart when you had a chance. Now you will need to beat him to make the finals. Yes hes been a little Rusty but he will settle in.
After the last few games i startet to get a bit more confident about the goaltending – when they play serious defense without too much blunders. I really hope it is an upgrade for the team and all the best for stu
Fleeced! You'd think if we needed to throw in a high pick and Kulak, it would be for a clear upgrade or the other team was eating money or it would be Pickard instead of Skinner. I do prefer Jarry to Skinner but this is a major roll of the dice considering what we had to give up….
What a brutal mistake , keeping pickard over skinner , giving up skinner plus kulak for a goalie that is not an upgrade for double the price , good job ken holland…………
Reserve your judgement until Jarry settles in…im an Oiler fan who wanted a change in net as well and am curious how this will or wont work out but Im tired of the whining about Bowman not doing anything

He’s getting fired oilers hire me instead I’ll do a much better job 😂 then him
Brutal, absolutely hate this trade. This and the Broberg/Hollowy fiasco, Bowman can be sent into the sun. Genuienly so pissed
Bad trade.
You and Jeff Jackson have destroyed this franchise. Way to go bowman 👏

This guy is a joke
Im sad to see Stu go but wish him all the best with the Penguins! Time to see what Jarry can do with the Oilers! Lets Go Oilers

This team went to cup in spite of Bowman/Jackson
Get rid of Bowman

Bowman and jackshit is destroying this club.the oil could have fixed the goalie problem by signing hart.this isn't an upgrade same old
What are you doing 😂
Skinner playing in the KHL this time next year.

Trading for a veteran goalie is a very smart move, it will put the team in a more stable position.
please fire bowman
Stan looks worried.

Oilers defense let's down goaltending, & letting go a defenseman who was 2nd or 3rd best on the team. I guess we will wait & see😢
Not the best trade , but it was time for a change . More moves to be made before the deadline for sure
FRICK YOU STAN BOWMAN
Jarry cleared waivers in 2025 keep in mind
Stu, you will be sorely missed – so sorry this has happened to you.
Bowman, you have single handedly traded off almost our entire 2024 SCF game 7 team and for what?
I’d take Stu over a dozen Bouchards. I don’t know what to think about this…
Fire this bum😭
What a brutal mistake , keeping pickard over skinner , giving up skinner plus kulak for a goalie that is not an upgrade for double the price , good job ken holland…………
This is the 3 playoff run man says Stan. We will see
Stan Bowman might be just as bad as Peter Chiarelli. Brutal
FIRE THIS BUM !
Time will tell but, this seems to be the stupidest move I've ever seen a NHL GM make.
The goalies, and the value of their contracts, cannot be compared. Don't even try.
he needs to go!!!!! horrible trade
Reserve your judgement until Jarry settles in…im an Oiler fan who wanted a change in net as well and am curious how this will or wont work out but Im tired of the whining about Bowman not doing anything
Thank you, Stan!
Bye, Oilers. Hope you regret not treating Stu better. Bet y'all won't make it to the playoffs now!!!
