Even though the main focus of Edmonton Oilers trade rumours involves goaltending, NHL analyst David Pagnotta has linked them to Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner as a potential trade target. There's no denying that the Edmonton Oilers badly need to upgrade their goaltending situation, as the tandem of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard just aren't getting it done and have shown <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/elliotte-friedman-discusses-recent-rumors-surrounding-stuart-skinner-trade-request' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>no ability to stay consistent</a> so far this year. Even though most of the chatter of potential trade rumours involve Edmonton trading for a goaltender, a new report has linked them to a heart and soul leader of an Eastern Conference team. Per NHL analyst David Pagnotta, the Oilers could consider Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner as a potential trade target at some point this year if Columbus were to once again fall too far outside of the playoff race. He's also a pending UFA, which makes the possibility of a trade increase.
