The Edmonton Oilers remain in pursuit of a goalie upgrade and now one of the top options is off of the board. The Edmonton Oilers have made it publicly known they would like to change up their goalie tandem and improve consistency from that position. Heading into the offseason, the Oilers have been connected to several options in the net as a potential upgrade <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/new-report-confirms-what-the-edmonton-oilers-would-need-to-give-up-to-land-john-gibson-from-the-anaheim-ducks' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>including Anaheim Ducks John Gibson.</a> For several seasons now, Gibson's name has been circling in trade rumors as the Anaheim Ducks continue to rebuild and re-tool their core. Now, according to multiple reports, Gibson has been traded to the Eastern Conference. <h3>Edmonton Oilers Fall Short In Their Pursuit Of John Gibson</h3> According to multiple sources, including Elliotte Friedman, the Ducks have finally moved on from John Gibson trading him to the Detroit Red Wings. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1938999511051051133'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> The Ducks in return will receive a pair of draft picks including a second- round pick along with veteran goaltender Petr Mrazek. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1938999785748603231'><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/detroitredwings/status/1939005899504525391'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> This takes the most attractive option for the Edmonton Oilers off of the board. They will now have to get creative and try to find a goalie who might not necessarily be on the trade block but could be acquired in a trade this summer. If not, the Oilers will be left paying a hefty price for goalies similar to Calvin Pickard in free agency. With Gibson heading to Detroit it will be interesting to see how Stan Bowman and the Oilers pivot and what their new plan of attack is.
