EDMONTON - Edmonton Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli knows there’s no perfect scenario to acquiring another goalie, either at the NHL entry draft later this week or on July 1 when the free-agent window swings open.
He either needs a tag-team partner for Ben Scrivens, who has one year left on his contract at $2.3 million, or someone who can take over the No. 1 job.
Will Chiarelli go with an experienced guy or take a chance on another team’s backup goaltender?
“There are a couple of groups of goalies out there. I’m not adverse to either way,” he said Monday.
