Friedman: Oilers, Sabres exploring goaltending market

Elliotte Friedman was on Toronto’s Sportsnet 590 on Friday morning.

On who is chasing the goalies now – is it the Ducks, is it the Oilers?:

“Well, the Ducks I’d say no. They’ll try to ride it out with Andersen and Labarbera until Gibson is healthy.

“I think the Oilers now are. I wondered if maybe they would bring Brygalov back. He was in a training camp. He played reasonably well for them last year. I was told no, that wasn’t what they were thinking of doing. I think they are looking at goalies now.

“But I think maybe the other team who might be looking at goalies too is Buffalo. They have Neuvirth and Enroth. Both of those guys are unrestricted free agents after the year. I’m not sure the Sabres consider them long-term solutions. Everybody has talked about Myers and what they might do with him. I think one of the things Buffalo is doing is trying to determine is who their goalie is of the future.”
