The Edmonton Oilers stare a different season with big question marks in the goal, and speculation grows about whether they can look outside the organization for answers. Feeling things like status quo for now, but as time rolls and the season starts, it is a storyline that is worth seeing.
With Stuart Skinner who comes from an inconsistent campaign and Calvin Pickard goes into his age-33 season for a descending deal, the oilers have a cheap stability between the pipes. The question is, is it good enough to finally win the Stanley Cup?
Skinner’s flashes of sparkle-inclusive an All-Star kink in 2022-23-being overshadowed by inconsistency, covered by last year’s savings percentage .896. In the meantime, although reliable in stretches, Pickard has never been more than a career -back -up. He showed a glimpse that he could be a starter, but when the push came to push, the oilers did not return to Skinner.
Is Nico Daws an answer from New Jersey?
That is where New Jersey Devils is just like Nico Daws in the conversation. The expansion of Jake Allen, the dedication of Jacob Markstrom on the franchise, and rising prospects Mikhail Yegorov and Jakub Malek who were in the Devil system, could leave Daws as the strange man in New Jersey’s target graph in the New Jersey target graph.
James Nichols van NJ Hockey Now believes that the fit is natural. “Daws in Edmonton is very logical,” Nichols wrote, pointing to the urgent needs of the oilers to a younger option that can now insist on starting, while the organization would also give a potential long -term solution.
Daws, only 24, has shown promising in a limited NHL promotion and could be the type of low risk, high-ups-white Edmonton desperately needs. The question will be what the costs would be to acquire him. If they see him as someone who can help this season, it might be worth grabbing GM Stan Bowman.
The oilers are open to traders such as Mattias Janmark, who has a cap -hit of $ 1.45 million. It makes sense to assume that the oilers have to make a choice with the deal in exchange for the dop savings.
Nichols also suggested the Calgary Flames and Vegas Golden Knights as possible trade options for the Devils if they would like to move DAWS. The Golden Knights go to 2025-26 with a goalkeepers from Adin Hill and Akira Schmid. The Flames are going with Devin Cooley next season behind Dustin Wolf.
