The Edmonton Oilers could look to the St. Louis Blues to resolve their goalie woes.
Although the Edmonton Oilers only processed one move yesterday. Jack Campbell was put on waivers for the purpose of assignment to the AHL.
The Oilers don't play until Thursday, so there is time to make moves before their next game. There was some smoke on Twitter about a goalie that the Oilers are checking in on.
Reid Wilkins mentioned yesterday on Inside Sports on 630 CHED that the Oilers were checking in with the St. Louis Blues about Jordan Binnington. A source told The Hockey News something similar. We will wait to see if anything transpires, but it's something to monitor in the very least.
In seven games this year he is 3-3-1 with a 2.38 goals against average and a .924 save percentage. His $6-million contract for this year and two years after is definitely a hurdle that this potential deal would face.
It's possible that the Blues could take back Jack Campbell in addition to whatever other pieces they are interested in. Dmitri Samorukov was put on waivers by the Oilers two days before being traded to the Blues for Klim Kostin - so it's not out of the realm of possibility.
