I love this signing. I think the future of goaltending for my Oilers will be homegrown. It’s so difficult to find a good goalie without sacrificing our depth. That leaves only two ways of getting a goalie: free agency (which failed, we actually had the highest bid for Markstrom) or homegrown. I am very concerned by our poor goalie coaching, but we have two of the best AHL goalies right now both under 25, and now we add one of the best NCAA goalies. We’ll be fine for goaltending in a year or two. It’s the defense I am worried about. I’ve watched nearly every game this year and the vast majority of losses I can’t blame on our goalies, it’s on our defense. Our defense has improved notably under Woodcroft, but few coaches if any can turn Barrie and Ceci into competent defenders or make Keith feel like a 27yo. That said, we have quite a few defensive prospects I really like, namely Neimeleinen (Finish d-man who loves nothing more than to inflict pain) and Broberg (Star Swedish d-man who has shown great intelligence and awareness under Woodcroft).
