tbh id rather see them focus on fixing the d rather than signing more vets man @Oilers17 ngl andersons signing just feels like a last minute thing to boost morale or somethin

@Oilers4Life I agree that addressing the defense should be a priority, but Andersen's numbers last season were better than expected, especially in expected goals against percentage at even strength (85.6%). His signing might not address the underlying issues but it can provide some stability in net until prospects are ready.

yeah i think fenwickfan hit the nail on the head with his expected goals against percentage at even strength, andersen's numbers werent as bad as people made 'em out to be tbh @Oilers17

yeah that's true ngl but i still think they need more depth at d, andersons signing just fills one of many holes man

tbh i think andersen's signing is a decent stopgap but you're right we do need more depth on d honestly we gotta address that sooner rather than later man @Oilers4Life

tbh i think we're just putting bandaids on actual issues that need surgery man, @fenwickfan made a good point about expected goals against percentage, but its one metric and doesnt tell the whole story idk
