This team was expected to be a contender right out of the gate after a strong finish to the previous season and postseason. Despite losing in the second round, they had high hopes for a better start this year.
In his segment on Saturday night, 32 Thoughts podcaster and NHL insider Elliot Friedman revealed that the Edmonton Oilers were exploring trade options to address their beleaguered goaltending situation.
Teams, however, appear reluctant to make a deal this early in the season, with many opting to wait longer before engaging in major trades. It's also worth noting that the Oilers are unwilling to make a deal from a position of weakness.
The Oilers will need to dig deep and try to figure out how to get out of this jam. With no help coming from trades with other teams, it will be on them to correct their problems.
