The Edmonton Oilers could be eyeing a veteran solution in net, and they might have a potential target in the Pittsburgh Penguins roster.

With the Penguins trading for 2025 Calder Cup MVP Arturs Silovs from the Vancouver Canucks and prospect Joel Blomqvist set for a larger role, Tristan Jarry's name is starting to gain traction as a potential trade candidate to leave Pittsburgh this offseason.
NHL insider Jeff Marek floated Jarry as a potential trade fit for Edmonton, following the general manager's comments about the goal of bolstering the Oilers' rotation in net.
'With the Pittsburgh Penguins acquiring Calder Cup MVP netminder Arturs Silovs... we start to wonder where Tristan Jarry will end up and how much the Pens will have to pay to move him,' Marek wrote. 'Could this be a deal for the Edmonton Oilers?'

Jarry, 30, posted a 16–12-6 record with a 3.12 GAA and .893 save percentage last season. He has three years left on his five-year, $26.75 million deal. If moved, the Penguins would facilitate a clean transition to Silovs or Blomqvist as the starter and backup of the team next season.
With just a few thousand dollars of cap space available, the Oilers will need to weigh their options carefully and nail a great price/value addition if they end up going for a new goalie.
The Oilers, who recently lost their second straight Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers, are known to be exploring options in net after uneven playoff performances from Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard.

Oilers general manager Stan Bowman acknowledged that roster changes are coming before the start of next season, with the goalie rotation atop the priority list.

'We'll have to look at, probably more likely, the forwards and the goalies are the ones we're going to evaluate the most,' Bowman said. 'We're going to examine not just our goalies, but our whole team, and see if there's a way to be better prepared next season.'

Blue Jackets forward Yegor Chinakhov requests trade after misunderstandings with coach
Greg Cote joins The Dan Le Batard Show to discuss how Connor McDavid remains the only player in NHL history to compile nine straight 90-point seasons without winning a Stanley Cup. COLUMBUS, Ohio — Blue Jackets right wing Yegor Chinakhov, the No. 21 pick in the 2020 NHL draft, has requested a trade. Shumi Babaev, Chinakhov's agent, posted a statement from his client about his intentions on X on Thursday. 'I had some misunderstandings with the coach during the season. Now I would be glad to have a trade,' Chinakhov said in the post. 'I would like to move to a different location. Will I return to Russia? As long as I can play in the NHL, I will keep developing here.' Dean Evason was in his first season as Blue Jackets coach this past season. Columbus went 40-33-9 and finished two points out a wild-card spot. Babaev later posted that he has talked to the Blue Jackets front office about granting Chinakhov's request. Babaev added: 'I understand that Yegor's desire to be traded did not come out of nowhere.' The Russian forward has been plagued by injuries in his four NHL seasons, including missing 40 games last season due to back injury. He had seven goals and 15 points in 30 games. He has one season remaining on his contract. Chinakhov's best season was 2023-24, when he had 16 goals and 29 points in 53 games.
