Recently, GM Stan Bowman made himself available for an interview with TSN insider Pierre LeBrun, breaking down his potential deadline plans.
The Edmonton Oilers have been one of the most dominant teams in the NHL this season. Currently ranked 3rd overall in the NHL, the Oil are poised to take home the Pacific Division, with a shot at the Presidents Trophy very much on the table.
That said, over the course of the season, analysts around the NHL have made bold predictions regarding GM Stan Bowman's offseason plans.
The Edmonton Oilers are currently stuck in "win-now" and the time is now for GM Stan Bowman to put his stamp on the team with a strategic trade.
That said, after a tough outing against the Colorado Avalanche last, confidence regarding the Edmonton Oilers talent between the pipes is dwindling.
Stuart Skinner was pulled after letting in 3 goals on 12 shots, fans are urging GM Stan Bowman to find an alternative solution in net.
Although fans seem to be growing weary of Stuart Skinner, Bowman remains confident regarding his current duo.

"Our goalies have been great (since November),» Bowman said, via The Athletic. «Calvin Pickard is 10-1 in his last 11 games. And Skinner's been excellent, too. Based on the performance of the team and their performance individually, they've done a really good job for us.
So, I'm not sure where that comes from," Bowman said. " We certainly believe in both of them, and we think they've been a big part of why our team has been so consistent over the last several months here."
