Could The Oilers Be Looking For A Goalie?
Ken Holland has already begun to make moves that will help the Oilers this year. He traded Klim Kostin and Kailer Yamamoto to Detroit at last year's deadline in an effort to save cap space, not just for last season, but for this year as well. The Oilers have been rumored to be interested in upgrading their goalie situation for awhile now and as Jack Campbell has not lived up to expectations, the team may be willing to move on from Calder finalist Stuart Skinner if it means landing a big name goalie such as Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck, who has also been in trade rumors.
As of this moment nothing is official and we have not heard any additional details as to what this upcoming trade might look like, but do not be surprised if it involves at least one goaltender.
