NHL insider Darren Dreger revealed earlier today that Stan Bowman and the Oilers may still be interested in acquiring a goalie after all, such as Jordan Binnington. TSN's Darren Dreger just surmised the <a href='https://theoilrig.ca/2025/02/25/could-jordan-binnington-be-a-solution-to-the-edmonton-oilers-goaltending-woes/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Edmonton Oilers could shop for St. Louis Blues</a> netminder Jordan Binnington ahead of the trade deadline. More of an unsubstantiated prediction, however, as he did mention Blues GM Doug Armstrong would be inclined to trade his core players. I get a text from a club exec non-related to the St. Louis Blues saying, 'What do you think the percentages are that Army parlays this Jordan Binnington success?' And then he answers the question. '99.9%,' Dreger said on The Ray & Dregs Podcast. Binnington's excellent work between the pipes for Team Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off will raise his value that much higher in a potential trade. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/worldhockeyrpt/status/1892807432855777403'> </a></blockquote></div> But Binnington's revised no-trade clause (18-team no-go list) <a href='https://puckpedia.com/player/jordan-binnington' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>and $6 million cap hit through 2026-27</a> make any trade difficult. His .898 save percentage in 40 games is the same as Edmonton's Stuart Skinner, so one has to ask if he would even be an improvement. TSN's Ray Ferraro cautioned against making too much of his recent play on the international stage. Don't be seduced by one game everybody has them. - Ray Ferraro <h3>The Oilers are also interested in John Gibson and Karel Vejmelka</h3> The Oilers also have reported interest in Anaheim's John Gibson and Utah's Karel Vejmelka, and TSN's <a href='https://x.com/travisyost' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Travis Yost</a> prefers Vejmelka due to having a lower cap hit and steadier play.

Binnington's contract, trade limitations, and volatility complicate matters, and some believe the Oilers should pursue a cheaper, more stable alternative.
