The Edmonton Oilers are still dealing with the disappointment of losing their heartbreaking Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers, and are now officially in the offseason.
And while there's also been a major change within the organization with the departure of general manager Ken Holland, the team is reportedly on the verge of a contract extension for one particular figure between the pipes.

Per Weekes, the new deal for Pickard will be for two seasons.
NHL Insider Frank Seravalli has confirmed the deal is for two years, $1 million:
Meanwhile, starter Skinner has two years remaining on his current deal that sees him earn an AAV of $2.6 million.
