Barry Trotz Explains Why Nashville Predators Traded Spencer Stastney to Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton bolstered its roster with goalie Tristan Jarry and defenseman Spencer Stastney to resolve goaltending issues and add youth, trading multiple assets including Brett Kulak and draft picks.
- On Dec. 12 the Edmonton Oilers completed two trades, acquiring Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin from the Pittsburgh Penguins and Spencer Stastney from the Nashville Predators.
- To address persistent goaltending woes, the Edmonton Oilers pursued Tristan Jarry after entering with a team save percentage of.873 and tandems allowing 15.6 goals saved above average.
- Across recent seasons the numbers indicate mixed samples as Tristan Jarry posts a.909 save percentage and 4.40 goals saved above average but faced waivers placement this year.
- By surrendering defense depth and a future second-round pick, the Oilers aim to salvage a faltering stretch around Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl but alter their defensive makeup.
- Given Edmonton's recent goalie turnover since 2021-22, critics question whether the Oilers front office’s trade for Tristan Jarry is imaginative enough to build a genuine contender.
