Oilers plan goaltending overhaul for upcoming season

The Edmonton Oilers are planning a major change to their goaltending for the upcoming summer. The team has struggled with goalies in recent years and is looking to make improvements. Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard have shown some promise over the last 18 months. However, Skinner's inconsistency as the starting goalie has raised concerns for the Oilers, who aim to return to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2025. Insider Bob Stauffer expressed that the team does not want to lose Skinner, but expects them to actively seek new goaltenders this off-season. He confirmed that acquiring a strong backup goalie is part of the team’s strategy. While the trade market may not have many big names available, finding the right backup and a third goalie to support Skinner could make a difference. The Oilers need to address their goaltending issues to avoid wasting the talent of their star players.
