Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson is reportedly willing to accept a trade to the Edmonton Oilers, who need an upgrade at the goaltending position after their latest faltering in the Stanley Cup Final.

Questions began to arise once again about the state of the Edmonton Oilers' goaltending after their second consecutive loss in the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers.

While the Oilers once again qualified for the Stanley Cup Final, they were unable to get the job done and used both Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard throughout the postseason.

Oilers general manager Brad Treliving is going to again have his work cut out for him this summer, and it looks as though he could have the chance to pick up an upgrade at the goaltending position.

Per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, the Oilers could have a chance to land Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson, who would reportedly be willing to accept a trade to Edmonton.

During a recent edition of his 'The Sheet' podcast, NHL analyst Jeff Marek noted that the Ducks and GM Pat Verbeek are going to be asking for a high price in return for any potential acquisition of Gibson, which could include a pair of first round draft picks.

This year with the Ducks, his 11th full year with the team, Gibson went 11-11-2 with a 2.77 GAA and .912 SV%.
