So the Oilers gave up the younger, cheaper, and potentially better goalie, AND they coughed up a second round pick?

Am I wrong here? Because I think Skinner might benefit more from this change than Jarry will.
Mirror mirror on the wall, even with Jarry, do the Oilers still have the most chaotic goaltending of them all?
Little K’s loss may be the Oilers gain, but at what cost? Waiting for the other skate to drop.
Xoxo.

Can thank Tarasenko for that one. Soft play near the offensive blue line sent Dallas the other way, Gus had to cover the puck, and they score off a faceoff win.
So two Dallas goals, both set up by bad plays by Wild veterans when they're playing short so many regulars.

A shorty for Dallas right off a faceoff. 2-1.
Previous play, things got dicey so Gus has to freeze the puck on the Wild power play.

Unacceptable lack of discipline from a veteran player. Dude was 185 feet from the net, skating away from it, and Hartman hooks him. Now you're down 1-0 in a game you were dominating.
Wild outshooting Dallas 9-0 nearly nine minutes into the game, but Hartman to the box for hooking.

The Brewers have signed Akil Baddoo to a one year MLB contract.
They have also signed Greg Jones to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.

What if the real Minnesota Wild are exactly what we've seen? You know, a team that's up and down like a toilet seat...
Will the real Minnesota Wild please stand up. juddzulgad.substack.com/p/wild-have-...
Wild have opportunity to prove that red-hot November wasn't a fluke
The Wild followed a terrible start to the season by losing only one game in regulation in November. So are the Wild really that good or is regression about to hit?

Y'all, things might seem bleak right now, but last night the county commission of little Houghton County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula voted 4-1 against a resolution declaring that their government only recognizes two, immutable sexes. There were five hours of public comment.
