Tonight after yet another disappointing game from goalie Calvin Pickard fans are calling for the Oilers to make a drastic move and place him on waivers. Earlier this week the <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/the-oilers-finally-have-the-perfect-opportunity-to-add-a-goalie-to-pair-with-stuart-skinner-for-years-to-come' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Edmonton Oilers had an opportunity to claim goaltender Cayden Primeau from the Montreal Canadiens.</a> The need for the Oilers to potentially claim a young goalie began after the team struggled to find a consistent goalie to partner with starter Stuart Skinner. While the Oilers see Skinner as the starter of the present and the future the workload he has been under is unsustainable. This season the Oilers' backup is Calvin Pickard who might be the most polarizing player on the Oilers' roster. At 32 years old Pickard is in his first full season as the Oilers' backup after splitting the previous two seasons between the NHL and the AHL. Throughout 13 games this season Pickard has a 2.51 goals against average and a 0.898 save percentage. While these are not terrible numbers they certainly are numbers that can be improved upon if the Oilers went looking for a new backup. Tonight Pickard was called upon to go up against the Anaheim Ducks one of the worst teams in the NHL and played arguably his worst game of the season. Pickard gave up 4 goals on 31 shots and truly just looked out of place tonight for the Oilers. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1873513606693937327'> </a></blockquote></div> As a result of yet another collapse by the Oilers fans are getting frustrated by the lack of consistency and want something to change.

Regardless of what the answer is Bowman and the Oilers need to be aggressive as the trade deadline approaches to fix the issues at hand that they believe are costing the team games.
