NHL trade news is that the Edmonton Oilers are stuck in a tough spot amid a goalie trade dilemma, as Ray Ferraro says, 'I don't think you can go back with the same goaltending'
NHL-Jake Allen of the New Jersey Devils (Credit: Getty Images) The Edmonton Oilers' offseason has quickly become more uncertain than fans would like. After an exhausting playoff run that ended in heartbreak, attention has shifted to what many believe is their weakest link: the goaltending. Analyst Ray Ferraro recently commented that the Oilers cannot afford to return with the same setup in the net for the 2024-25 season. Jake Allen and John Gibson are linked to the Edmonton Oilers' search Speculation is swirling around two veteran names: Jake Allen of the New Jersey Devils and John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks. Allen, an unrestricted free agent, presents a lower-risk option. But Ferraro cautioned that Edmonton must be mindful of how much money it allocates to goalies, especially when depth is needed elsewhere on the roster. Meanwhile, John Gibson offers a more established presence on the net, but his acquisition would likely demand both cap space and significant trade assets. That creates a complex equation for the Oilers, who are already tight on financial flexibility. The Ducks may be open to a deal, but only if it suits their long-term rebuild. Edmonton's leadership must navigate this landscape carefully.

Flames ‘continuing to plug away' on contract negotiations with Dan Vladar, says Conroy
Article content Article content Is Vladar, who really seemed to find his groove after the 4 Nations Face-Off and continued to roll with a sparkling .950 save percentage in his four appearances at the world championship tournament, now wondering if another organization might view him as a potential starter or a platoon possibility? Article content Is he hoping for more playing time so he can showcase himself for a chance to represent his country at the 2026 Winter Olympics? Article content Is it simply a matter of finding some middle ground on term and dollar figure? Article content If Vladar does opt to test the market when free agency opens on July 1, he will be one of the most appealing options available, a guy who can offer a blend of experience and upside. Article content If the Flames need to go another route, the pickings are somewhat slim. Beyond Vladar, the list of soon-to-be UFAs in the crease is headlined by Jake Allen, Alexandar Georgiev, Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vanecek, who just lifted the Stanley Cup as the No. 2 for the Florida Panthers. Article content Article content The Flames have also been mentioned as potential suitor for Ivan Prosvetov, who is looking to return from the KHL. Article content Also factoring in this conversation is whether there is internal belief that Devin Cooley can be part of the big-league plan. Cooley's contract upgrades to a one-way for this coming season, but there may be some second-guessing after his rollercoaster campaign with the Wranglers — a superb start that netted an invite to the AHL All-Star Classic and then a miserable finishing stretch.

Other Indiana cities included Greenwood at 91st and Columbus at 92.

Jake Allen's 34-save effort against his former team highlights Devils' win over Canadiens
MONTREAL — Jake Allen made 34 saves and shut out his former team as the New Jersey Devils beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 on Saturday. Allen, traded from Montreal to New Jersey at last season's deadline, denied Montreal's Owen Beck on a penalty shot with 15 seconds left to secure his fourth shutout of the season in his 20th start. Jesper Bratt and Jack Hughes each had a goal and an assist, and Paul Cotter and Luke Hughes also scored for New Jersey. Sam Montembeault stopped 18 shots for Montreal, which lost for the seventh time in eight games. Takeaways Devils: Allen beat Montreal for the second time in two weeks. He made 29 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Devils on Jan. 25. Canadiens: Regrouped after a slow start, but couldn't solve Allen. He slid across the crease to deny Cole Caufield late in the first period, and stopped Josh Anderson on a breakaway in the second. Key moment In-house announcer Michel Lacroix asked fans to respect the national anthems "despite recent events." Fans in arenas across Canada have booed the American national anthem, likely in response to a looming trade war between Canada and the United States, sparked by the threat of tariffs by President Donald Trump. Fans at the Bell Centre were mostly silent, with sporadic jeers, during the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner." The crowd sang along passionately during "O Canada." Key stat Bratt extended his point streak to eight games, posting two goals and 10 assists during the run. In three games against Montreal this season, he has four goals and three assists. Up next New Jersey begins a two-week break for the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament and returns to host Dallas on Feb. 22. Montreal hosts Tampa Bay on Sunday.
