With Laurent Brossoit struggling, and possibly needing one more year to develop, the Edmonton Oilers have some decisions to make between the pipes. They at least have a definitive starter between the pipes in Cam Talbot.
Peter Chiarelli signed NCAA goaltender Nick Ellis, but is that a stable enough option? Will Brossoit be able to prove himself? If the Oilers want a definite stable backup option in net, they should consider looking at some of the options in free agency. One of those is long time Carolina Hurricanes starting netminder, Cam Ward.
