In the wake of a disappointing 8-1 loss in their season opener, the Edmonton Oilers are under the spotlight for their goaltending struggles. With concerns arising about the performance of their netminders, Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner, and their Stanley Cup aspirations in mind, NHL insiders are speculating about potential changes in the Oilers' goaltending department.
While it's still early to confirm trade talks, the question remains: how long can the Oilers afford to wait if their goaltending woes persist? Oilers General Manager Ken Holland is reportedly considering a solid solution, with the name of Linus Ullmark surfacing as a possible target.
The Oilers had previously explored Ullmark's availability during the summer, making him a familiar name. However, challenges lie ahead in terms of cap space and assets that could be part of any potential deal. While the Oilers aim to see improvements in their goaltending and defense, trade discussions are beginning to gain momentum as the season unfolds.
