Oilers free agent targets: Is Sergei Bobrovsky the answer to Edmonton’s goaltending question?

On Sunday, the Florida Panthers made the biggest move of the offseason so far.

They traded Mackie Samoskevich to the Seattle Kraken for the 25th overall pick in this year’s draft, as well as a conditional second in next year’s draft. They then flipped that 25th overall pick alongside their ninth overall pick, acquiring Brady Tkachuk from the Ottawa Senators.

After winning back-to-back Stanley Cups, the Panthers dealt with a plethora of injuries last season, ultimately missing the postseason. It’s clear that they intend to keep contending, with their biggest question mark now in goal.

Shortly following the second trade, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman appeared on NHL Tonight, noting that it’s unlikely that Sergei Bobrovsky is going to be back in net.

It just so happens that there are a lot of question marks surrounding the Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending situation. So with that being said, let’s take a look at his fit in the lineup, as well as whether or not they should pursue him.
