This isn’t the first time the Edmonton Oilers have given up on a 27-year-old goaltender. On Friday morning, the Oilers sent Stuart Skinner (along with Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick) to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin. In my eyes, this is a lateral move in terms of skill, with…
Tristan Jarry wasn’t the only goalie the Edmonton Oilers were interested in. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman’s 32 Thoughts blog, posted Thursday night before the Jarry acquisition Friday morning, general manager Stan Bowman was looking at one of the Buffalo Sabres netminders — Alex Lyon. “In addition to Tristan Jarry, I believe the Oilers poked…
There are three constants in life: death, taxes, and the Kris Knoblauch line blender. And boy, was it out in full force early on this season.

The Edmonton Oilers traded the goaltender to the Pittsburgh Penguins alongside Brett Kulak and a second-round pick in the 2029 draft in exchange for goaltender Tristan Jarry, and forward Samuel Poulin.

And I was surprised by what turned out to be the answer: All the time. No, literally, it happens every season.
