Mike Smith had two month-long heaters last year and still finished with a brutal stat line of 2.95 GAA, .902 Sv%, -7.67 GSAA and -17.36 GSAx. Love the heaters, but I'd toss Smith overboard in a second if they found another option.
I assume the plan on carrying three goalies or losing Stalock to waivers in due time. I'd rather see them carry the three for the season and then have Stalock for next season.

Can he play a conditioning stint for Bakersfield before coming to Canada to quarantine? I'm not sure why the Wild waived him without having him play a bit for Iowa

Michael Russo speculated that since Stalock hasn't played in months Guerin perhaps thought he could sneak him through waivers. I guess Bill Guerin hasn't been paying attention to the waiver-wire this season.

The Wild figured they'd have a better chance of getting an injured goalie through waivers then they would once he was healthy. They were worried about teams like Buffalo who currently don't have a starting goalie (or an NHL back up for that reason!!!). They guessed correctly on Buffalo but they were not expecting Edmonton to put a claim in on someone who was going to be their 3rd goalie. The battling back from injury thing did not bother the Oilers since Stalock can't play for 2 more weeks anyway. The Oilers also don't need Stalock unless one of Koskinen or Smith gets hurt and has to miss multiple games in a row.
The Oilers will likely be carrying 3 goalies for a while now since so many of their forwards have already cleared waivers and Koekkoek is done for the season.
it'll be at least two weeks before Stalock can suit up. 14 day quarantine coming into Canada. As much as Edm needs the G depth I can't see them taking any chances of sending Stalock down.

The goaltending issues were not surprising. The fact that they couldn't score a goal against a 2nd and 3rd string goaltender in back to back games, despite actually playing fairly well for serious stretches of each game was definitely surprising. That has to be the least worried I have ever felt after back to back shutout losses ever.
I cant remember where I read this but a good point is to remember that Edmonton still needs a goalie to expose in the upcoming expansion draft and Stalock is still signed for next year. I know Koskinen is also signed for one more but he does have a M-NTC in his contract so I am not sure where that leaves Edmonton as far as protection goes.

Chiasson having a hearing for a hit he did in the final seconds of the game last night. It was so close to the end of the game that the camera went to Hutch to show the winning goalie when it happened.
I haven't seen any angle, Steve Dangle hasn't either. But he tweeted he has asked SN if they have an angle for him to see. Chiasson received a 5min major and a game misconduct for the hit, and the Leafs were apparently furious. Because it came so late in the game, I'd assume he's suspended for 1game, but that's just me saying it without seeing the hit. Just the fact the refs thought it deserved 5+game.

Crosschecked Vesey in the head as the buzzer went apparently
Ooooff. The incident look like it happened in the Leafs zone, and the puck was in the Oilers zone when it happened. If it was a crosscheck to the head...it's gotta be over 1 game suspension right?
Steve Dangle just tweeted a view about the incident. Chiasson just skated up to Vesey and punched him in the head post-game. I'd say 1-2games in player safety is looking at it. Big aspect is it happened way away from the play, post-game, and no initial fight or anything.
Better screenshot of it...nvm, not a punch, a crosscheck to Vesey neck.
