However, to reach the Stanley Cup, the Edmonton Oilers [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/] (and other Cup contenders) must improve their team to make a deep postseason run.

The Oilers have added speed, youth, and depth with the additions of Ike Howard [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/report-oilers-struggle-to-secure-promising-prospect-trade], Curtis Lazar [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/oilers-new-addition-makes-depth-forward-expendable], Andrew Mangiapane [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/oilers-new-forward-is-exactly-what-they-need], and the promotion of Matt Savoie. But, they are one move shy from having a tremendous summer.

It would take a blockbuster deal to appease Edmonton. Is this enough? [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/community/kings-offer-for-mcdavid-in-blockbuster-outlet-trade-pitch] If the Oilers can add a solid goaltender who can challenge Calvin Pickard [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/players/oilers-calvin-pickard-hits-new-milestone] for the role of playing backup to Stuart Skinner [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/oilers-stuart-skinner-5-potential-trade-destinations], they can consider their offseason a slam dunk. Michael DiPietro, Nico Daws [https://heavy.com/sports/nhl/edmonton-oilers/oilers-urged-to-acquire-nico-daws/], and Sebastian Cossa are all fine options for the Oilers. If I were Stan Bowman, I’d lean towards acquiring Daws over the other two options. Picking him up via trade or waiver wire would be the play. Any bigger fish are a bit more work to secure. Connor Ingram [https://heavy.com/sports/nhl/edmonton-oilers/oilers-trade-pitch-connor-ingram/] or Vitek Vanecek are two options from the Utah Mammoth [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/utah] who would draw the Oilers’ eye. And then there are the pipe dream options: Jeremy Swayman and Ilya Sorokin [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/5-oilers-goalie-targets-that-are-big-upgrades]. Sorokin would be an incredible addition to the Oilers' roster. That calibre of goaltender being added to a team that has high-end talent everywhere else in its lineup could be an absolute game-changer for them. There is no rush on the Oilers to make a move, but everyone knows that it’s coming and that it needs to happen.
