A new report from an NHL insider has suggested that the Boston Bruins could be comfortable moving on from one of their goaltenders.
Oilers Searching For Goaltending Help

Insider Reveals Bruins Could Trade Top Goalie To Oilers
According to a conversation between Oilers reporter Jason Gregor and Bruins reporter Joe Haggerty, the Edmonton Oilers could explore the Boston Bruins goalie tandem for a solution.
The Bruins could be more likely to trade Jeremy Swayman or Linus Ullmark after the breakout AHL campaign from young goaltender Brandon Bussi.
"It think it is a plausible idea of them parting with one of their goalies, because they are high on Brandon Bussi in the AHL. But, I don't think it would be in-season, because they are relying so heavily on both goalies this season. They've needed great goaltending." @HackswithHaggs on Bruins trading a goalie.

The Oilers have reportedly been searching the market for goaltending. While they likely cannot wait until the offseason for an upgrade the progress in talks with Boston could make it so the Oilers only go after a stop gap.
This story will continue to be followed into the summer if the goaltending problems continue in Edmonton.
