NHL insider Pierre LeBrun recently shocked the NHL world when he stated that Ducks goaltender John Gibson would be willing to waive his no-trade clause for Edmonton. Pierre LeBrun from 'The Athletic' <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6121964/2025/02/07/oilers-trade-deadline-stan-bowman/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>wrote about what the Edmonton Oilers may do at this season's NHL Trade Deadline</a>. With the club considered one of the top Stanley Cup contenders without a weakness in their lineup, he asked what they should or would do. One area of discussion was goaltending, where LeBrun noted <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/nhl-insider-links-the-edmonton-oilers-to-superstar-goaltender-john-gibson-as-trade-deadline-reports-heat-up' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a veteran netminder would be willing to join Edmonton.</a> LeBrun writes, «I do believe John Gibson from the Anaheim Ducks would waive his no-trade clause to go to Edmonton. So there's that. But it sure doesn't sound like Bowman sees goaltending as an area of concern.» <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/oileralert/status/1887948865418228079'> </a></blockquote></div> He pointed out that Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard have played well, so he is not sure if John Gibson would even be an upgrade. Some might debate that with him, but Edmonton doesn't appear interested in moving for another netminder. «Our goalies have been great (since November),» GM Stan Bowman said in a conversation with LeBrun. He added, «Calvin Pickard is 10-1 in his last 11 games. And Skinner's been excellent, too. Based on the performance of the team and their performance individually, they've done a really good job for us.» «So, I'm not sure where that comes from. We certainly believe in both of them, and we think they've been a big part of why our team has been so consistent over the last several months here.» <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TonyBrarOTV/status/1887920645373321720 � LeBrun also discussed rumors that perhaps Edmonton is worried about Skinner's ability. That would seem quite bizarre, given the fact that he backstopped them to the Stanley Cup Final last season.'> </a></blockquote></div> As far as <a href='https://www.nhl.com/ducks/player/john-gibson-8476434' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Gibson</a> goes, there's no word that he and <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the Oilers</a> have spoken. If anything, it's likely no discussions have happened since the season started. Edmonton seems pleased with its goaltending and would probably be more apt to add depth up front or on defense rather than making a move in net.
