Tyler and Liam dive into the latest reports from Kevin Weekes and Elliotte Friedman, who both suggested the Edmonton Oilers are actively exploring a goalie trade. The discussion around Tristan Jarry continues to pick up steam, and the guys break down whether this is a realistic option for the Oilers.
They talk about why the Oilers may be reaching a breaking point with their current goalie situation, whether Jarry would be a legitimate upgrade, what a potential trade could look like, and how soon Ken Holland may need to act.
Should the Oilers actually pull the trigger on a move like this? Tyler and Liam give their thoughts on the growing rumours and what it could mean for the season.

What happened to trading Picard or sending him to AHL?
I wanted Skinner to work in Edmonton too.
I sure hope not. Tristan Jarry, is just another way of spelling Stuart Skinner. Only………… more expensive.
This is a serious business , Skinner and Pickard are both failing bad go Jarry , Ingram blow it all up.
He does live here still in the off season. He’s a close friend of mine full disclosure, I hope he comes here, he wants to come to Edmonton, no matter who comes tho the team needs to play better defensively.
Trading skinner won’t be enough. Time to rebuild, hope to find a generational superstar in the draft and build around them
Nurse and Bouchard arent the only problems, but they are the biggest problem. You can win with mediocre goaltending, (Chris Osgood has 3 cups!) but you cant win with piss-poor defense. No team ANYWHERE, EVER can win with fcking Bouchard as your #1 D. Plus the piss-poor defending makes Skinner look even more unreliable than he is.
Jarry is better then Binnington anyway. People forget that until the very end of 4 nations, Binner almost singlehandedly cost Canada the tourney
This is not an upgrade.
If we get Jarry we will get worse Jarry is trash they literally could’ve give him away a year ago what is different
I wish they can make a Jarry deal, while keeping Stu as the backup
Skinner has a serious athleticism deficit. I don't see the raw tools to become a top goalie.
Good point where both Oilers and Skinner need fresh start
Another day, another speculative goalie trade from Ty and Liam.
Jarry not the answer either
Better defensive play is needed more than a goalie change
As much as I hate to say it, mangiapane is probably first to go on the forward lineup. His cap hit makes it work, and just doesn’t seem like the best fit with the squad. By no means a bad player, just not the one we need. Hard to say tho that the pens will give him up with the chance to make one last run with Sid and malkin.
It’s a shame Blackwood and Wedgwood got traded last year, and weren’t on the block this year. Either of them prolly would’ve fit quite well.
I hate to see the tandem go cuz they’ve had their moments. Just not enough, and too far apart to matter
Almost looks like the teams already given up and just auto playing until Stan trades. Possibly that is a statement from the top dogs maybe to Stan??
Just guessing and making stuff up like SOME media!!!
Or maybe Stan is actually human and wanted a good trade for his team and his player he is trading to go to??
Or maybe Stan is like the hole teams playing bad why single out 1 player.
YOU WIN AS A TEAM YOU LOSE AS A TEAM
If Edmonton want's him, it's going to cost them big time because EVERYBODY knows they need a goalie.
If you decide to ship Skinner out, you should send a defenseman with him #2 ! And the Coach!
Get victor salvos
Shouldve kept holloway n broberg n perry n brown!! Got rid of key pieces for arrivson n skinner n trent n we got rid of arrivson n skinner
Nurse has stolen enough money from the Oilers. Get him outta here
Make this happen please.
We all wanted Skinner to work in Edmonton. Unfortunately he never will.
Alright. Let’s get the Rolex desk clock and gold bar in the mail to Dubas.
I can't be the only one that thinks it's not just the goalies … nurse and bouchard have been horrible .. and eckholm seems slow . with walman out and they let stecher walk .. whats left … maybe need to bench bouchard and bring up a ahl defenceman ?
I said it during the summer they needed a change in goal. When they didn’t make a change I knew they were in trouble. I’m not surprised where they are right now. Everyone outside of Edmonton knew they needed a goalie change.
Skinner needs to go and never come back, he's only with the big club cause he's the hometown kid playing for his hometown team and that's it and when it happens I'll LMFAO and have a drink to celebrate, Pickard got them to the Stanley Cup not skinner
it sucks..I like Skinner. He's a decent goalie. I think he'd be at 900. if he had a good defense infront of him. Both Skinner and Pickard hasnt fallen off a cliff, basically the same cliff if you look at their stats. They play much the same as usual, maybe a little worse then previous seasons, but the team infront of him has been abysmal which has dragged his numbers down. Sadly some fans are completely tunnel visioned on the goaltending only and I think at this point, it is what it is, a change has to be made.
the problem is the oilers is they have many problems
Jarry has been one of the worst goalies for last 5 years or so. Penguins would be thrilled to offload his horrible contract. This would be a horrible trade for Oilers.
