Not an Oilers fan but what does Wallstedt do for the Oilers? They need to compete now, while #97 and #29 are under contract. For one, drafting goalies is especially difficult. For two, he's not likely to make the NHL in a full-time capacity for a few years and if the Oilers haven't found a starting goalie by then it's very possible #97 and #29 will either be gone or looking to leave.
They need a proven solution now. Not in 3-4 years...now.
this is a copy and paste of an answer I gave to another person who said the same thing
some goalie's become NHL ready faster than others.
and yeah there's a chance that he wouldn't be NHL ready for atleast 2-3 years. but still having a potential franchise goalie.
what are the chances the 22nd overall + 90th overall pick once are ready will fill or help fill the biggest need since Roloson left?
I could be forgetting a goalie in there though.
either way knowing you have an elite goalie prospect would likely be alot more refreshing over still searching
