Speculation is running high about a potential blockbuster trade involving the Edmonton Oilers and the Boston Bruins following an embarrassing 8-1 loss in the Oilers' opening game. The game raised concerns about the performance of their goaltenders, Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner. With Stanley Cup aspirations on the line, some NHL executives believe the Oilers might need a significant change in their goaltending department.

While it's early to predict trade rumors, the focus is on how long Edmonton can afford to wait if goaltending issues persist. Rumors suggest that Oilers General Manager Ken Holland might be eyeing a solid goaltending solution, with Linus Ullmark potentially on his radar.

Ullmark's availability has been previously explored by the Oilers, making him a possible target. However, challenges in making a deal work, such as cap space and player assets, loom large. The Oilers will need to address their goaltending concerns, but it remains to be seen whether they can strike a deal for Ullmark or explore other options to bolster their team.

The hope for the Oilers is that their goaltending and defense improve, but the possibility of a trade remains a topic of discussion in the early stages of the season.
