Edmonton Oilers Backup Plan Is To Trade For Goalie

Friedman also reported that the team was really hoping Jack Campbell would somehow find his game again after being sent to the AHL. It sounds like a trade is their backup plan, which is interesting given how bad both Campbell and Skinner have been this year.

Almost everyone in the hockey world just assumed the Oilers were working on a trade that would bring a goalie to Edmonton. Apparently, Ken Holland was literally hoping the problem would just magically go away. Campbell has been terrible in the AHL since being sent down. In three games he has a 0-3 record and an .820 save percentage

The clock is ticking on the Oilers season so a trade will surely come soon.
