The Edmonton Oilers are in a prime position to take advantage of the Pittsburgh Penguins' current surplus of goaltenders. Following the Penguins' acquisition of Arturs Silovs, they now have three NHL-caliber goalies on their roster: Tristan Jarry, Joel Blomqvist, and Silovs. This situation creates an opportunity for the Oilers to potentially acquire a netminder to bolster their own goaltending depth.

After losing in the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight year, Oilers General Manager Stan Bowman has acknowledged the need to evaluate the team's goaltending situation. Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard's uneven performances in the playoffs have prompted the team to explore other options. With limited cap space, the Oilers need to carefully consider their options and find a goalie who provides great value.

One potential target for the Oilers is Tristan Jarry. NHL insider Jeff Marek has suggested that Jarry could be a good fit for Edmonton, especially with Blomqvist expected to take on a larger role in Pittsburgh. Jarry, 30, has three years remaining on his $26.75 million contract, carrying a $5.375 million cap hit.

However, acquiring Jarry would require some financial maneuvering. The Oilers have very little cap space, so the Penguins would likely need to retain a portion of Jarry's salary to make the deal work. If Pittsburgh retains 50% of Jarry's salary, the Oilers would need to give up more in the trade.

Acquiring Jarry is not without risk. Jarry's performance has been inconsistent. In 36 games last year, he had a .893 save percentage and a 3.12 goals-against average. However, a change of scenery could benefit Jarry, giving him a chance to revive his career.

The Oilers could capitalize on the Penguins' situation by offering a trade that benefits both teams. For example, the Oilers could offer prospects or draft picks in exchange for Jarry, with the Penguins retaining a portion of his salary. This would allow the Penguins to free up cap space and give Blomqvist and Silovs more playing time, while also giving Jarry a fresh start in Edmonton.

Ultimately, whether the Oilers can capitalize on the Penguins' three-goalie situation depends on their willingness to take on Jarry's contract and the Penguins' willingness to retain salary. If both teams can agree to a deal, it could be a win-win situation that addresses the needs of both clubs.
