Edmonton Oilers eye Jacob Markstrom as trade talks emerge

Summary

The New Jersey Devils are exploring trade interest in goaltender Jacob Markstrom, previously sought by the Edmonton Oilers. New Jersey, while not close to a deal, is gauging market interest for Markstrom, who has two seasons remaining on his contract at a $6 million cap hit. The Oilers had targeted Markstrom during free agency in 2020 but lost out as he signed with the Calgary Flames. Following his trade to New Jersey, Markstrom recorded a 3.07 GAA and.883 save percentage this past season. Edmonton's goaltending situation has been inconsistent since Markstrom's departure from free agency discussions.
