They would love to find a #1 goaltender but as the Oilers have found out if he's not already in your organization you are going to have to reach to backups and prospect in other organizations. If they can get a legit guy like say Ben Bishop it's possible they go with an unproven backup but their other options in Reimer, Ward, etc are not guys you can say with certainty will be able to run with it so they will look to add a backup with plenty of experience. I'm not too worried about who they get as I know Treliving will leave no stone unturned but ultimately he's at the mercy of other teams when it comes to trading for a goaltender.
