The Edmonton Oilers have shown their willingness to make important moves with the acquisition of Mattias Ekholm from the Nashville Predators less than a year ago.

Now, they might be considering leveraging one of their goalies to snag another significant player.

Holland Aiming for a Major Move?

Ken Holland, the Oilers' general manger, is entering the last season of his contract in Edmonton. Despite his efforts, the Stanley Cup has remained elusive during his tenure.

The stakes are higher than ever for the team's success. It was widely believed that Steve Staois was the designated successor until his unexpected departure from the Oilers, but he joined the Senators.

Just three months ago, Steve Staios seemed the obvious choice to take over from Ken Holland as the Oilers GM.

I'm convinced that Jeff Jackson can, and will, pinpoint and appoint a superior successor for the GM position before July 1.

This departure isn't a setback. We continue forward.

Given the mounting expectations from both the city and the franchise, many speculate that Holland is planning a major move to secure his position.

Holland's Big Move: It Could Involve a Goalie

The Athletic shared that goaltender Stuart Skinner might be on the table for a significant trade at the next deadline.

The Oilers have been on the lookout for a goaltending upgrade, and one name stands out: Connor Hellebuyck, who's been in the trade rumor mill for a while.

Given Holland's goal to make a noteworthy move and the Oilers' need for experienced goaltending, Hellebuyck seems the perfect match.

Either Jack Campbell or the emerging goalie Stuart Skinner is anticipated to be a part of any offer for Hellebuyck. However, the Oilers will likely have to sweeten the deal to captivate the Jets. Potential additions might include players like Dylan Holloway, Philip Broberg, and Raphael Lavoie.

Do you think Holland will make a big trade at the deadline?
