Analysts Slam Oilers' Pickard Gamble
NHL analysts are ripping into the Oilers for their risky handling of veteran goalie Calvin Pickard, who just cleared waivers after getting squeezed out of the three-goalie rotation with Tristan Jarry nearing a return and Connor Ingram stealing the show. Pickard's been a locker room favorite through thick and thin, but his sub-.900 save percentage lately has everyone questioning if Edmonton dodged a bullet or just delayed the inevitable goalie crunch.
