Tonight a new report from NHL insider David Pagnotta has confirmed what it would take for the Edmonton Oilers to land John Gibson in a trade at the deadline. Earlier this week reports came out confirming that <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/stuart-skinner-future-with-oilers-in-jeopardy-following-most-recent-john-gibson-report' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Stuart Skinner could be the biggest roadblock for the Oilers to land John Gibson in a trade.</a> With Skinner not wanting to be a backup but the Oilers feeling they need an upgrade at the goaltender position before the trade deadline passes they are not at a crossroads. Either the Oilers will need to side with current goaltender Stuart Skinner and back him up through his ups and downs or trade for Gibson and hope that he is the bonafide number-one goaltender that the organization has been searching for over the last several years. Today a report from NHL insider David Pagnotta has confirmed what it would take for the Oilers to land Gibson if they decide to go all-in on him at the deadline. <h3>Insider Confirms The Anaheim Ducks Asking Price For John Gibson</h3> During a <a href='https://x.com/TomGazzola/status/1889408125859672503?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1889408125859672503%7Ctwgr%5Ed91b4f28a49fa6b591e8da5107d1231087b9384f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oilersdaily.com%2Fnhl-team%2Fedmonton-oilers%2Fnhl-insider-confirms-asking-price-for-oilers-to-acquire-john-gibson-in-trade' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>new appearance on the Hello Hockey Show</a> insider David Pagnotta talked about the Edmonton Oilers' continued pursuit of goalie John Gibson. I was told there was a recent exploratory conversation regarding a deal for John Gibson between the Ducks and the Oilers When asked what it would take for the Oilers to land Gibson the insider confirmed that the Oilers would need to part with Stuart Skinner and draft picks or a top prospect. I would imagine Skinner's gonna be going back. If I'm Edmonton, probably throwing Skinner back, cause you gotta try to make money work. I'm still asking Anaheim to retain a little bit, cause they will. A top-level prospect too. This means that if the Oilers were going to trade for Gibson they would get rid of any safety net by also getting rid of Skinner. In this case, the Oilers would need to be 100% certain that Gibson is an upgrade on Skinner and that he would be a good fit within the team culture and locker room. If the Oilers are going to take a big shot at the deadline to add a star look for Gibson to be their main target. Of course, this situation continues to develop as the deadline gets closer and the Oilers finalize their deadline plans and as those plans become public we will pass the news along to you.
