Some suggests objectives for the oilers, and a Sabres forecast could be a trade candidate. Details in the Sunday NHL Rumor Roundup.
Athletics: James Mirtle was recently asked if he saw legitimate objectives for keepers for the Edmonton Oilers This season.
Mirtle admitted that the goalkeeper market is thin this season. Many teams opt for inexperienced options such as backups, making it less likely that they will move a starter. There are not many teams that wear two veterans that would be considered as potential no. 1.
The best option could be on teams that had hoped for a better season, but eventually struggled out of the gate and aggressively shed, such as the Boston Bruins Did last season.

Mirtle stated the Detroit Red Wings John Gibson or Cam could move Talbot if they are struggling this season. Semyon Varlamov from the New York Islanders And Connor Ingram from the Utah Mammoth Could become available, but Mirtle wonders if they would be improvements for the oilers.
Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins And Elvis Merzlikin from the Columbus Blue Jackets could be shopped. However, their important struggles make them doubtful as improvements compared to the current tandem of the oilers.
Mirtle believes that something unexpected is needed for the oilers to find a suitable goalkeeper upgrade this season. It could cost a good team that falls out of the play-off-ancestors early, or the oilers who are desperate enough to give up prime assets to acquire a premium keeper of a club with a solid two-goalie tandem, such as the Carolina Hurricanes” New Jersey Devils” St. Louis Blues” Toronto Maple LeafsAnd Washington Capitals.
Note of the Spector: None of those individual options is an upgrade about the current tandem of the oilers Stuart Skinner And Calvin Pickard. Regarding those two-goalie teams, these are Playoff opportunities who are probably not at risk of breaking their tandems.
The Buffalo News: Rachel Lenzi was recently asked what could be in store for Sabres Prospect Isaac Rose This season. The 22-year-old right wing was their first round Pick (14th General) in the NHL design of 2021.
Rosen has been productive at AHL level, but not impactful in 15 games in the past two seasons. That is because he was not used correctly during those short stints, where he saw the Chequine-Line obligation. He may have benefited from playing next to playmakers.
Lenzi believes that the Sabres have a decision to make with Rosen, who will have a hard time cracking their selection this season. She thinks that a profession to a team that needs a young attacker who needs a change of environment can benefit him.
Note from the Spector: Rosen is not the only first rounder of the design from 2021 this summer to the surface in the rumor mill. Boston Bruins wing Fabian Lysell (21st general) and Los Angeles Kings defender Brandt Clarke (Eighth general) also appeared in recent trading education.
Two others were traded for each other earlier this summer. On July 1, the St. Louis Blues traded wing player Zach Bolduc (17th general) on the Montreal Canadiens defender Logan Mailloux (31st general).
