NHL insider confirms major goalie overhaul coming for Edmonton Oilers

Oilers insiders have hinted previously that Edmonton has lagged behind other NHL teams in goalie development by only having one coach. Many other teams employ multiple people at multiple levels of the organization, but the Oilers just had good old' Dustin Schwartz for 10 years.

As part of their offseason changes, the Oilers are expecting to completely overhaul their assistant coaching staff. According to a new update from Oilers insider Jason Gregor, those changes are expected to be coming this week.

Along with replacing Schwartz, the Oilers will take the advice of the rest of the NH Land build up a goalie department.

Former Fox Sports analyst Evan Renarts has reported that the Oilers will in fact add a goalie department, with a primary focus of getting the best out of their young starter Stuart Skinner - and developing more goalie talent in the organization.

Finally the Oilers are taking this step to modernize their approach in net. Skinner still has some potential with his experience and youth at just 26 years old. If new coaches, voices, perspectives, and techniques can improve his play, the Oilers need to invest in it.

This approach is good news for further shaping the Oilers into a world-class sports team, and a true cup contender with a complete roster - all the way back to the crease.
