Tony Luftman: “So we just showed the whole highlight, it was the Panthers for the Oilers. The Oilers fans were grinning. You can hear them from here. The back-to-back Stanley Cup ended up losing the Cats’ ultimate loss. It’s worth noting that the famous subtraction of the Edmonton Oilers: Connol Brown, Connol Alvedes Alvedes Palvidsson, John John, John Klinger Belling Kane back to Edmonton?”
Elliotte Friedman: “I think they’re looking for goalkeepers. If one of their first moves today (Tuesday) is shooting, I’m working on it now, but I’m working on it now, but I’ve heard they’re trying to do something like this today, whether it’s a UFA goalkeeper or someone, they might sell it.

Lufman: “One of the things we talked about throughout the Cup final is that in the crease between them, they spent $3.6 million in accumulative $3.6 million between them. Obviously, Pickard, obviously, was six consecutive wins. Skinner, Skinner, what were their final second half in 16 playoffs in terms of percentage savings? What was Pickard? Situation?”
Friedman: “I have to say I thought they might move on from Skinner. Now, I don’t believe they will do that. I think they feel. Try to be different from them.
I mean, the best way to solve your problem is to solve the problem internally, rather than trying to trade 100 things, so I think they will try another teaching method with Skinner and hope this helps.
I mean, the other thing is, it’s a really tense team on the hat. Their (Leon) Draisaitl costs $14. They (Evan) Bouchard is now in the 10.5 mark. They’ve already (Connor) McDavid hit 12.5, which will get higher, so Skinner scored 2.6, and I think they really strongly think that in 2.6, it’s really high for him and they still think he’ll get better.

So I think he’s been staying and I think what they might try to do is change his partner, and it’s not necessarily because of anything Picard does. He fights, he does a great job. I just think they have to end the uncertainty of their goals, and I think they think that might be the best way to do it. ”
nhlrumors.com Note: The Oilman doesn’t have much left to sign. They have lost a lot of depth. Goalkeepers like Ilya Samsonov, Alexandar Georgiev and James Reimer remained in the market. If Edmonton is going to switch goalkeepers, they will do it now. General Manager Stan Bowman said again that it’s better now.
