Tonight, a new goaltender has been added as a potential trade target for the Edmonton Oilers to potentially replace Stuart Skinner.

The Edmonton Oilers' goaltender has been a major issue all season long leaving fans begging Stan Bowman to make a trade.
Despite the pleas, Bowman remains skeptical of making a move to replace Stuart Skinner.
Even with Bowman refusing to confirm the Oilers are exploring the market insiders continue to monitor the situation looking at potential replacements.
Tonight, a report from David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period has indicated that former Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot could be available.

Former Oiler Cam Talbot Becomes a Potential Target For Stan Bowman

This evening, Pagnotta has revealed that if the Red Wings are out of the playoff race Talbot will likely become available.
In addition, Talbot does not have trade protection which means the Oilers would just have to convince Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman that a deal is a good idea.
Talbot, 38, has been a consistent performer over the last several years as a 1B goaltender in a tandem duo.
He likely wouldn't be a replacement for Skinner unless Bowman and the Oilers really want to shake things up but he could be a replacement for Calvin Pickard instead as the Oilers' backup.
It remains to be seen whether Bowman would value Talbot over Pickard but fans would likely welcome the change to bring back a friendly face and former starter for the club.
If the Oilers' goaltending duo continues to struggle Bowman will absolutely be forced to make a move at some point whether he wants to or not.
If he continues to ignore the team's problems he will then risk potentially frustrating Connor McDavid whose future in Edmonton still remains uncertain.
As the situation continues to develop, we will pass along all of the latest news to you.
