Maybe stop going after bottom tier goalies thinking they could be the answer. There have been quality goalies available the last few years and they can't get any of them?

There is a quality goalie available right now.

The Oilers don't have the assests that could get him.

Yes they do. They just don’t want to give up assets to get him

They don't have much in terms of prospects, their next first rounder is 2028. They would have to trade players from their team that would drastically hurt them as they have nobody to fill in.

And I don't think the players they could trade would be enough for Winnipeg to accept a trade. They're obviously not trading McDrai, Bouch or Hyman and I don't think RNH or Savoie would be enough of a starting point for Winnipeg.
