Usually goalies tend to succeed when they have a good defense in front of them. This is trade did not fix the main problem with Edmonton which is their defense
Bowman is not finished. They will replace Pickard with Ingram or another rental option. Plus shore up 3rd and 4th line. I will judge him after the deadline.
Everyone is forgetting they have Ingram getting back into form, they can run Jarry and Ingram as a 1A/1B I don’t get the panic, plus you have pickard as 3rd string, that’s not bad at all
Lateral movement, Oilers lose a young and upcoming goalie. His development was messed up because of Campbell being so bad Skinner had to be the starter before he was ready, and management never got him help

Jarry isn't an upgrade and hes also injury prone

Stu had a 896 and Jarry 893 last season. Oilers were a much better defensive team than Pitt
It’s a “B” grade goalie and you’re adding a “B +” goalie, like people have said it’s the defensive problem we need to solve.

Bouchard and Nurse are still dog shit. It doesn't matter who is in net.
Bouchard needs to go
All they need is Average to slightly Above Average net-minding and Jarry fits that bill. Let's try to not run him out of town
