If things aren't handled in time, Edmonton would watch a functional NHL netminder join a division rival without receiving a single asset in return.
The Edmonton Oilers' goaltending situation has shifted from concern to crisis but not the kind anyone expected. GM Stan Bowman now faces a roster puzzle with three NHL-caliber netminders and only two spots to fill, with waiver implications threatening to strip the organization of assets if he doesn't act quickly.
What looked like Edmonton's Achilles heel entering the season has what can be said turned into an embarrassment of riches between the pipes.
