If there’s a goalie available out there, the Oilers automatically have to be attached to them, right? <\/p>\n
Understandably, things didn’t go well for Markstr\u00f6m last season. His .883 save percentage was below league average (.896), but it was substantially better than how Tristan Jarry performed for the Oilers last season (.858) and he went 13-5-6 in Edmonton. <\/p>\n
Swapping Markstr\u00f6m for Jarry might be the only way to make a move like this happen and, oddly enough, it would allow the Devils to cut salary since Jarry’s $5.375 million cap hit is less than Markstr\u00f6m’s $6 million. Both players have two years left on their contract, and both players might not mind a change of scenery. <\/p>\n
Both players have modified no-trade clauses, according to PuckPedia.com, with Markstr\u00f6m having a 20-team no-trade list and Jarry a 12-team list. So, there are potentially some roadblocks here. <\/p>\n
Markstr\u00f6m’s track record is a bit stronger than Jarry’s so it would be an upgrade for the Oilers. With the motivation to prove himself yet again on a Stanley Cup contender, that could bring the best out of him yet again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If there’s a goalie available out there, the Oilers automatically have to be attached to them, right?
