AJ FredricksonHOST
Like, we're gonna have to see.
AJ FredricksonHOST
And then the goaltending still remains a question, because I still have major, major, uh, question marks about Calvin Pickard backing up, um, to start the year.
AJ FredricksonHOST
So his games that he starts, like, genuinely are we gonna sit down and watch and assume they might just be punting on this game? Like, th- like, they're, they're gonna have to pick their matchups, and this is where it kinda comes back to John Hynes, who just got the extension of he's gonna have to be, every decision he makes, matchup-wise, line combo-wise-
Judd ZulgadHOST
Mm
Nick ZararisHOST
They were banking to some degree on Alec Regula to be the partner that resurrected Darnell Nurse's career.
Nick ZararisHOST
They were banking on Connor, excuse me, They were banking on Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard magically bouncing back after two straight disappointing seasons.
Nick ZararisHOST
This year, some of the gambles they've made are reasonable.
Nick ZararisHOST
I like what I saw out of Ryan Shea last year.
AJ FredericksonHOST
We're going to have to see.
AJ FredericksonHOST
And then the goaltending still remains a question because I still have major, major question marks about Calvin Pickard backing up to start the year.
AJ FredericksonHOST
So his games that he starts, genuinely, are we going to sit down and watch and assume they might just be punting on this game? They're going to have to pick their matchups.
AJ FredericksonHOST
And this is where it kind of comes back to John Hines, who just got the extension of...
Ryan RishaugGUEST
So the Oilers go from couple of guys that actually put up half decent numbers, all things considered.
Bob StaufferHOST
Who's that? Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard?
Ryan RishaugGUEST
Yeah, and then, and then add in Connor Ingram, too.
Ryan RishaugGUEST
His numbers were, were not terrible when he was up.
Dan PowersHOST
Yeah.
Brandt ClarkeGUEST
And then Calvin Pickard comes in and wins four in a row, but-
Dan PowersHOST
Yeah.
Brandt ClarkeGUEST
[laughs]
Judd ZulgadHOST
If Hunt struggles in games, I suppose a spot check becomes an alternative, and it's nice to have some depth there, but this is where, like, the conversation is you're now gonna start the season without one of your two goaltenders.
Judd ZulgadHOST
And I think we all agree that if we had to do a trust tree ranking on Calvin Pickard, it's not incredibly high, and- and he's gonna have to play.
AJ FredricksonHOST
Mm-hmm.
Judd ZulgadHOST
So the Gustafson injury, which is gonna keep him out I think until some point in November, is concerning to a certain degree, but then this is extremely concerning.
Seth ToupalHOST
This is residual from the surgery that he had during the offseason for his hip that he dealt with at the end of last season, and it It certainly had an impact on his performance down the stretch.
Seth ToupalHOST
So we knew that Gus was going to start the season on injured reserve, which is where Calvin Pickard comes in.
Seth ToupalHOST
We'll see how many starts he gets.
Seth ToupalHOST
I would imagine Jesper Valstead is just going to get the lion's share of the starts, at least in the early part of the season.
Jay DowntonGUEST
But sometimes it's
Liam HorrobinHOST
so magical when they put Cal Pickard in it, how the team just decided to eat every piece of rubber for Cal.
Liam HorrobinHOST
I'm wondering, you hear this narrative of coming out of Buffalo, how the Sabres are upset that he's gone.
Liam HorrobinHOST
Maybe he's got Cal
Vic MorrenHOST
And also on Phillip Gustafson, who had a hip procedure during the course of the offseason.
Vic MorrenHOST
You guys did pick up Calvin Pickard to back up Jesper Wahlstad.
Vic MorrenHOST
Can you update us on Faber and on Gustafson? Yeah, Fabes
John HynesGUEST
is taking, he did take the puck up to the head.
AustinHOST
Rozovic probably goes to Toronto, scores 20 to 25.
AustinHOST
Calvin Pickard signed with Minnesota.
AustinHOST
Adam Henrique is still an unrestricted free agent.
AustinHOST
And Curtis Lazar signed in Switzerland.
5 MINS LATER

AustinHOST

AustinHOST
Frederick Anderson is an upgrade as well.
