It's no shock that John Gibson would love Edmonton, but he must be a number one, something that's threatening to jeopardize Stuart Skinner's future. The Edmonton Oilers remain one of the season's most intriguing squads, with fans widely <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/oilers-eye-blockbuster-move-for-former-first-overall-pick-and-nhl-superstar' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>theorizing their next move to the 2025 Trade Deadline</a>. John Gibson is rumored to be connected to the Oilers in more recent cases, fueling speculation about Stuart Skinner's future. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/JasonGregor/status/1889467720632242634'> </a></blockquote></div> John Gibson, goalie of the Anaheim Ducks, would love a move to Edmonton or Carolina Hurricanes, <a href='https://x.com/FriedgeHNIC' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Elliotte Friedman</a> reports. <h3>Gibson's request to be a No. 1 is what's fueling trade speculation for Skinner</h3> Gibson would, however, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/elliotte-friedman-reveals-the-main-obstacle-that-could-prevent-john-gibson-from-joining-the-oilers' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>prefer a straight-up No. 1 position</a>, making it more of a dilemma in Edmonton, in that Skinner has been playing superbly. In spite of that, there is more speculation. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/MikeKellyNHL/status/1889011429027856797'> </a></blockquote></div> If Edmonton was serious about making a move to get <a href='https://www.nhl.com/ducks/player/john-gibson-8476434' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Gibson</a>, one is left to wonder what it would do to Skinner. Inconsistent at times, Skinner has been a great goalie and is supported by management. There is nothing to indicate Edmonton is shopping around for his services. The fans will continue to theorize, though, but yet a trade for <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/stuart-skinner-8479973' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Skinner</a> is not going to take place it seems, at the moment. As a homegrown product that has helped to fuel the Oilers' victories, he has the potential to continue to shine. Gibson is not going to be interested in sharing time in the crease, yet that won't mean Edmonton would sacrifice Skinner, at least not yet.
