Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Cam Talbot’s agent George Bazos said that GM Peter Chiarelli did talk to Talbot about Koskinen’s extension.
If the Oilers are not in the playoff race at the deadline, they’ll look to trade Talbot.
The Oilers would need to acquire another goalie through trade or free agency for next season as they don’t have anyone currently in the organization that is ready.
One potential trade option could be Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Tristan Jarry. The Penguins just signed their backup Casey DeSmith to a three-year extension.
Pending unrestricted free agents that could be options for the Oilers are veteran Brian Elliott or Cam Ward.
