This NHL insider has just revealed who he believes the Edmonton Oilers will bring in to be the next starting goaltender in Edmonton to pair with Stuart Skinner. <h2>Craig Button Reveals that Edmonton Is Likely To Trade With Montreal For Jake Allen</h2> The Edmonton Oilers are in a tricky situation, as they require a solution between the pipes and don't have much to offer up in terms of a trade. The Oilers are looking to win this year, which is now a long shot, but in order to do so they need to find another formidable goaltender to help Stuart Skinner. <q>It's certain that I think young goalies like Yaroslav Askarov, Dustin Wolf, and Jesper Wallstedt can be starting goalies one day, but the Oilers can't take a chance with a young goalie right now. They don't have the luxury of waiting. [...] Teams don't want to trade #1 goalies, so they need more of a good goalie who can help and support Stuart Skinner, and I've been saying this from the start, I really believe Jake Allen is that goalie! Jake Allen would be the best goalie to acquire today for the Oilers, he would be perfect for them. If I am Ken Holland, I want no other goalie than Jake Allen. - Craig Button</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/thesickpodcasts/status/1728054447291400553'> </a></blockquote></div> Craig Button believes that the goaltender is Jake Allen of the Montreal Canadiens. Montreal is in a unique place, with extra goaltenders under their belt, and they could take advantage of the Oilers' desperation to turn things around this year. <h2>Oilers Would Need To Throw Sweetener In For Whatever Deal They Can Come Up With For Allen</h2> Unfortunately for the Oilers, every GM in the NHL knows that they are desperate for a trade to turn their season around. It is likely that Montreal will take advantage of this, and ask for a sweetener in whatever deal is offered. This might be a prospect, like Xavier Bourgault, or next year's draft pick. <q>Mock Trade To Edmonton: Jake Allen Sean Monahan 50% retained To Montreal: A1 prospect First round pick Contract dump </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/tropicalnhl/status/1727410622894403933'> </a></blockquote></div> This is a risk that the Oilers need to be calculated in making, as they may have already dug themselves a hole they can't get out of, and a trade now would just hurt them in the long run.
