Rumblings: Are the Oilers looking for a backup goalie?

Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli got his No. 1 goalie at the draft when he traded with the New York Rangers for Cam Talbot. But it turns out he wasn’t done looking at the position.

Sources told ESPN.com that early Wednesday, Chiarelli made calls on Karri Ramo and Michal Neuvirth before the former re-signed with the rival Calgary Flames and the latter agreed to a deal with the Philadelphia Flyers.

That tells you the Oilers' brass isn’t completely sold on Ben Scrivens as a backup -- something to store in the back of your mind.
