Comedy gold out of Edmonton

I don't think we need a petition, my friend, he still has a year left on his contract. I think Koskinen has signed a deal in Europe, so unless he retires or Holland finds a trade partner, Smitty will be back.

Some rumblings he's going to retire. I hope that if he does his full 2.5 counts against the cap.

Hope not. Need Holland to have space to bring in a goalie he drafted 12 years ago.

As you have correctly surmised, Oilers fans all up in arms over this tweet...

I know it likely doesn't matter, but the optics are pretty great.
Nope, we don't need any more goalies!

What should the Oilers do with polarizing pending RFA Jesse Puljujarvi?

As the Oilers look to move from playoff contender to Stanley Cup contender, GM Ken Holland has some tough decisions to make — one of which revolves around pending RFA Jesse Puljujarvi. What should the Oilers do? Mark Spector takes a look.

Answer: Sign him 8 years x 6m. They'll grow to love him.

We're not saying that it's time to retire, but you are at least thinking about it right? Right?

It would certainly give them much needed cap space if they both retired. They removed the 35+ contract signing stipulation in the last CBA.

In that case, they should both give it one more kick at the can.

I was gonna say. I don't think that's his lady. Maybe a local weather person?

That'd give 'em enough cap space for Matt Murray!

He sure moves faster on the ice. Also, I think that is his 'niece'.

Good to see Connor working on his two-way game.

Edmonton went from having 2 goalies on contract to 1 that may not come back and somehow then are probably in better shape in the net

You know, Koskinen wasn't bad this season (27-12-4) with a .903 save percentage, it's not his fault Chia overpaid for his services, he's certainly a serviceable backup in the NHL who was mishandled by the Oilers who have a history of bad goalie management (Dubnyk, Talbot etc.).
