Things are not going well in Edmonton. While the offense can be explosive, the defense and, more notably, the goaltenders have clearly not been performing for too long.
By placing Jack Campbell on waivers earlier this week, they opened the door to the possibility of acquiring another goaltender. Fans of the Canadiens immediately made a possible connection between Kent Hughes and Ken Holland.
It seems that Jordan Binnington and Juuse Saros are also potential targets for the Oilers. The chances of Saros leaving Nashville are quite slim, as he is seen as the future for Barry Trotz. Binnington has a less-than-enthusiastic reputation, something McDavid's team doesn't need during this stormy period.
