Friedman: Oilers’ Goalie Trade Pursuit Hampered by Tristan Jarry’s Contract
The Edmonton Oilers were interested in acquiring a new goaltender before the trade deadline but were reportedly blocked by Tristan Jarry’s contract. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman stated that a trade involving Jarry would have been necessary to make another goalie move, but this proved impossible.
Jarry’s significant contract and subsequent performance issues since his acquisition have complicated the Oilers’ goaltending situation, leading them to rely more heavily on Connor Ingram for the remainder of the season.
