Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing first impressions of the Oilers‘ newest friends, Tristan Jarry’s future with the club, Jake Walman’s struggles, and more. If you’ve got a question you’d like to ask, email it to me at baggedmilk@oilersnation.com or on Twitter at @jsbmbaggedmilk, and I’ll get to you as soon as I can.

1) Trevor asks – How do you rate the Oilers’ 2-1-1 road trip? The record looks pretty good, but I’m also disappointed by how it ended.

Jason Gregor:

At the start of the trip, I said a 2-1-1 record would be good. They played three good games out of four, and ideally, they would have finished off with a win in St. Louis. Blowing a two-goal lead in the final eight minutes was far from ideal, and the team shares your disappointment. They need to win three of four at home this week.

Tyler Yaremchuk:

Blowing that two-goal lead obviously sucks, especially with the race being as close as it is, but considering the quality of opponents that they played, I’ll take it. If they get five out of every eight available points for the rest of the year they’ll get into the playoffs. I’ll give it a solid B as a grade.

Zach Laing:

It was… fine? They walked out with a winning record, which is what matters most, but blowing leads to Dallas and St. Louis surely left as sour taste.

Baggedmilk:

I think it’s fine to come out of a trip like that with a 2-1-1 record, given the teams they played on that run. That said, not coming back to Edmonton at 3-1 is extremely disappointing, given where they were against the Blues with very little time left.
