Could Filip Gustavsson Be the Oilers’ Answer in Goal? | Ask Dubey



Another episode of Ask Dubey is here! 🏒

Former Edmonton Oilers goaltender Devan Dubnyk joins us from Secaucus, New Jersey to answer your questions on the biggest stories around the NHL, the Edmonton Oilers, and the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

This week, Dubey breaks down the shocking Colorado Avalanche sweep at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights, explains how injuries may have impacted Colorado’s stars, and discusses why Vegas has become one of the most dangerous teams remaining.

The conversation then shifts to Edmonton’s biggest offseason question: Who should be the Oilers’ starting goalie next season? Dubnyk shares why Filip Gustavsson could be a strong trade target for Edmonton and what the Oilers need to do to stabilize their crease heading into a critical year for Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Dubey also takes a deep dive into the evolution of NHL goaltending, discussing modern techniques, why save percentages have declined across the league, and how the position has changed during his career. Plus, hear stories from Dubey’s time with the Oilers, memories from the 2010s, and why Ryan Jones remains one of his closest friends in hockey.

👀 And yes… there may be a Ryan Jones appearance coming soon on Ask Dubey.

  1. It's time for the C to be removed from mcdavid, he's not a leader, has no leadership qualities and can't win the big one while wearing the C and disappears when it actually matters and im glad skinner is gone and I'll go as far to say i hope he never plays another nhl game ever again

  2. Gustavsson has a hefty price tag at 6.8 million and we’d have to give up assets. He’s been pretty good in the past. But he’s going for surgery in the offseason and is unlikely to start the season. Not sure how the oilers can afford that risk
