This afternoon, another promising goaltender entering his prime has been traded leaving the Edmonton Oilers once again on the outside looking in. Throughout the summer the Edmonton Oilers have been connected to several goaltenders on the trade market as a potential duo with or replacement for Stuart Skinner. Despite <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/edmonton-oilers-stuart-skinner-eyes-strong-comeback-after-offseason-body-transformation' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Skinner's impressive offseason transformation</a>, Oilers fans continue to hope for news of a trade for a goaltender to shake things up in Edmonton. This evening, the Oilers have once again fallen short as notable Russian goaltender Ivan Fedotov has been sent from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Columbus Blue Jackets in a trade. <h3>Edmonton Oilers Fall Short Once Again Acquiring a Goaltending Upgrade</h3> According to multiple reports, the Philadelphia Flyers have traded Ivan Fedotov to the Blue Jackets for a 2026 6th-round pick. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/bluejacketsnhl/status/1967242108227748309'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/sportsnet/status/1967217556911227335'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Fedotov, 28, will be entering his second full season in the NHL after dominating the KHL from 2018 to 2024. Fedotov did struggle to transition to the NHL with the Philadelphia Flyers but has a track record of being an elite goaltender when he has a good team in front of him. Now, he will head to Columbus where that staff will try and help him get back to the success he had while in the KHL. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1967223456896061549'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Trading for Fedotov could've been a fantastic opportunity for Stan Bowman and the Oilers to land a goalie to push Stuart Skinner and provide more stability in the backup role. Instead, the Oilers will head into training camp with the same duo of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard and hope for a jump in production from one or both of them.
