-Liam McCormick, Oilers Daily
1. Mackenzie Blackwood (San Jose Sharks)
Age: 27
Current contract: $2.35 million (2025-UFA)
2024-25 stats: 4-8-3, .902 SV%
Mackenzie Blackwood is by far the best goalie that may be on the trade block this season. He has shown well on a terrible San Jose Sharks team, and he has a very manageable cap hit that is under $2.5 million.
2. John Gibson (Anaheim Ducks)
Age: 31
Current contract: $6.4 million (2027-UFA)
2024-25 stats: 4-0-1, .925 SV%
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson is reportedly open to being traded to the Oilers, and he's doing a lot to win over fans. Despite a few down seasons and injury woes, Gibson's stats are sparkling through his first five games of the season, even while on a bad Ducks team.
3. Vitek Vanecek (San Jose Sharks)
Age: 28
Current contract: $3.4 million (2025-UFA)
2024-25 stats: 2-5-1, .899 SV%
If the Sharks want to keep Blackwood to platoon with Askarov, they will need to find a new home for Vitek Vanecek.
