The Oilers Can Stop Worrying About Their Goalies...If They Can Get Ullmark
The Oilers' goalie situation has been an issue all season long. Management even decided to send down their number one goalie, Jack Campbell (and his $5 million AAV contract) down in the AHL.
Getting the most recent Vezina winner, Linus Ullmark, would change the team completely. Players in front of him wouldplay with more confidence, being less afraid to take risks knowing the goalie will surely stop the puck if they make a mistake.
Can you imagine Draisaitl and McDavid with even more confidence on the ice?
The Bruins would still be in a confortable position with Jeremy Swayman, who showed that he can be a number one in the league.
Top Candidate for Bergeron's Replacement: Nugent-Hopkins in Edmonton
The Bruins' center position has suffered a major hit when David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron left over the summer. However, the team still manages to win and they're currently sitting at the top of their division.
As we saw last season, it's not enough to win in the playoffs. They could use extra help, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins could be a great fit.
The Oilers would certainly miss him, but it's a fair prie to pay for a goalie like Ullmark.
Would you trade Ullmark for RNH and a second round draft pick?
