Honest question: would a mental illness like anxiety or depression be sufficient to LTIR a player?

I imagine it would have to be severe. Like causing problems at home or like substance abuse.

If a doctor feels it prevents him from playing according to the terms of his contract, I expect that psychological disability is legit.

Especially nowadays and with the pressure of playing professional sports.

Problem with this path is Campbell would have to be comfortable that he's never going to play again.

Lol, here they have a half-decent guy who wants to stay there, wants a long term deal and they don't return the love.

Skinner? He was 29-14 with a .916 save pct. in his rookie season and even showed some promise the prior season while stacking good seasons in Bakersfield. Skinner was on a real upward trajectory until the playoffs hit, which is tough on most rookies, and he hasn't recovered since. Hell, look at guys like Oettinger and Helleybuck who got torched in the playoffs last season.

There's a baseline to work with with Skinner but his confidence is in the toilet now. Finding a real goalie coach would be a good start.

Oh crap i was talking about campbell. I guess i misread the post or something. My b

You are in for a rude awakening my friend.

Picard is not good,
Picard cannot be possibly worse than stuart skinner.
If picard comes in a plays a few games as a lousy nhl starter that is a large upgrade over skinner who has been atrocious all this year and all last playoffs.

I don’t know his NHL numbers are pretty scary. I hope he’s better.

They're playing the St. louis Long Game.

This was why they came to camp early, so they were all on the same page.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I think Pickard will see as much ice as Holloway and Lavoie. He's there to strictly back up Skinner and maybe play in back to backs, unless Skinner gets hurt. They said as much yesterday when they said they were hoping Skinner would go on a run of games to get going.

I was looking for hope and you found me some.

I'm sure the hope is too run with Skinner and hope that Campbell somehow gets his game back on the farm, we call him back up, and live happily ever after.

I'll at you in July

They are going all in on Skinner again.
That was the line with Koskinen, Campbell and it will be with whoever we call-up or aquire, he the one woody trust and will do whatever possible to make it happen.

We should not spend a penny on goalie replacement unless its a top 5 candidate. This group will soil anyone that not the second comming of Patrick roy.

if we are all being honest here the best course of action right now would be to have skinner shave off his stache and cut his hair. show up "new look, new me"

...And when "the new me" gets torched by the Sharks tomorrow, what body part should he shave next?

 

[gordonhught]

Lets go Pickard!!

 

[McTonyBrar]

Lets go Pickard!!

First shot will go in

Why don’t the oilers just wait until Daniil Tarasov is healthy for CBJ, then pick up Spencer Martin once he is waived?

Because Spencer Martin sucks



If we get him, the media will love him LOL

….And switch to a proper shirt number. #74 looks really strange….

I honestly wouldn't mind giving it a shot. Any word on when Tarasov is back?
