Mattias Ekholm, Cam Talbot Surface in New Red Wings-Oilers Trade Rumors
<a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/detroit-red-wings">Detroit</a>’s trade discussions with Edmonton are heating up, with big names like Mattias Ekholm and Cam Talbot rumored to be in play.
Trade talks are heating up between the Edmonton Oilers and Detroit Red Wings as the Oilers seek a new starting goaltender following back-to-back Stanley Cup Final losses to the Florida Panthers, largely due to being outmatched in net.
Reports suggest Detroit’s top goalie prospect Sebastian Cossa has been mentioned in discussions, with other rumors involving names like Cam Talbot, Justin Holl, Mattias Ekholm, and Brett Kulak as potential trade pieces. The Oilers previously pursued John Gibson, whom the Red Wings ultimately acquired, and now both teams are exploring deals that would bring immediate help rather than future assets. Detroit is also reportedly monitoring Anaheim’s Mason McTavish situation, indicating they’re still looking to upgrade before the season begins.
What do you think about the idea of the Red Wings adding an older player like Ekholm? Would you prefer Kulak? Would you prefer to keep a young prospect rather than acquiring a rental like Ekholm? Let us know in the comments 👇🏼
