Oilers Not Looking to Make 'Lateral Move' to Fix Goaltending Issue
The Edmonton Oilers have been under a ton of scrutiny over the last few weeks. A major point of contention is their goaltending and just how bad it has been this season. As a team, they have a
To make matters worse, they’ve been rumoured to be in trade talks with both the St. Louis Blues and Pittsburgh Penguins for
Oilers Not Looking to Make “Lateral Move” Between the Pipes
Friedman essentially put all trade rumors to bed, at least for now. Here is
“The Oilers have made enough calls, and teams call you when you’re going through a bad week,” he said. “You know the teams out there that kind of have extra goalies or goalies that are willing to move, like Columbus, Buffalo, Pittsburgh. And what I can tell is that Edmonton’s position has not changed at all. They are not going to do it just to do it. They are not going to do what they believe is a lateral move. They would rather make no move than what they think would be a bad move or a panic move or a move just to do it.”
If this is the case, it looks like the Oilers are going to allow their goalies a bit more time before they decide what to do. It should also be noted that
Friedman also reported that Skinner has not asked out of Edmonton, but instead did an autograph session earlier this week.
Todd Tucker shocks RHOA fans by revealing that his long-hidden girlfriend is pregnant with his child, just after he and Kandi Burruss ended their relationship
In a development that has sent shockwaves through the
As of now, neither Tucker nor Burruss has issued a formal public statement confirming or denying the rumor, leaving fans, bloggers, and entertainment media in a state of heightened curiosity.
A Breakup That Already Raised Questions
The separation between Tucker and Burruss, who have been central figures on RHOA for years, was already a major topic within the Bravo universe. Their relationship had weathered numerous challenges, many of which unfolded in front of reality-TV cameras. While the couple did not reveal specific reasons for their decision to part ways, insiders described the split as “emotionally difficult” and “long in the making.”
The timing of the breakup—and the rapid emergence of the new allegation—has intensified public attention and fueled widespread discussion on social media platforms, gossip forums, and entertainment news outlets.

The current rumor reportedly began circulating after an unnamed individual claimed that Tucker had been in a long-term, private relationship outside of his public partnership with Burruss. This individual further alleged that the woman involved is now expecting a child.
Entertainment reporters have emphasized that no documentation, photographs, or verified sources have yet surfaced to substantiate the claim. At this stage, the story remains unconfirmed, though its rapid spread underscores the enduring public fascination with former
RHOA cast members and their personal lives.
Fan Reaction and Industry Response
The RHOA fanbase is deeply engaged with the unfolding situation, though the response has been mixed. Some viewers express skepticism and caution, pointing out that cast members and their families frequently face speculation, especially during periods of transition or public scrutiny. Others have reacted with shock, citing the long history and emotional investment surrounding Tucker and Burruss’s relationship.
Industry observers note that the rumor echoes a familiar pattern within reality television culture, where unverified claims often gain traction before official sources have the opportunity to address them. The absence of a statement from Tucker has contributed to the speculation, though insiders stress that silence should not be interpreted as confirmation.

Sources close to the situation indicate that all parties involved are prioritizing privacy, especially given the sensitivity of the claims.
Entertainment analysts predict that a formal response from at least one side may eventually be required, particularly as media outlets continue to report on the growing speculation.
Until then, the situation remains in flux—defined more by unanswered questions than confirmed facts.
Conclusion
Todd Tucker’s name has become the focus of intense public attention following the circulation of an allegation involving a supposed long-hidden girlfriend and a possible pregnancy. Without official confirmation, the story exists squarely within the realm of speculation, but its timing—so soon after his separation from Kandi Burruss—has made it one of the most-discussed topics among
RHOA fans this week.
As developments continue and formal statements emerge, the entertainment world will be watching closely to understand what is rumor, what is reality, and what it means for the former couple moving forward.
Shock Move Coming? Devin Williams Tipped to Ditch Yankees for Their Biggest Rival in Blockbuster $60 Million Deal - lulu
he New York Yankees made a bold move to acquire Devin Williams last season, but it appears it was for just one season.
Williams is a free agent and is still one of the top relievers available. Several teams will be after him, including the Yankees, who are open to bringing him back.
However, MLB insider Ryan Finkelstein of JustBaseball predicts Williams will leave the Yankees and sign a massive four-year, $60 million deal with the New York Mets.
“My original prediction was that the Williams would sign with the Atlanta Braves, but now that they have re-signed closer Raisel Iglesias to a one-year, $16 million deal, it is fair to take them out of the Devin Williams sweepstakes,” Finkelstein wrote.
“Instead, I will stay in the same division but predict that the New York Mets will win the bidding for Williams. If the Mets lose Edwin Diaz, this suddenly would feel like a slam-dunk fit to replace him. However, there is also the chance the Mets bring back Diaz and still look to spend on a set-up man, and create a pairing that would be tough to beat at the end of games.”
Williams could serve as the Mets closer if Diaz leaves, or if he returns, they could form a dynamic one-two punch at the backend of the bullpen. It would also be a big blow to the Yankees’ bullpen, as Williams did have a ton of success down the stretch
Williams Could Have Opt-Outs in Deal With Mets
If the Mets do sign Williams to the four-year deal, Finkelstein believes it could be shorter.
Williams had an up-and-down season last year, so the insider predicts it could have multiple opt-outs, which could just be a two-year deal.
“Williams very well could take a shorter deal that allows him to get right back to free agency after one good season, but for this deal, we are projecting what a four-year contract could look like,” Finkelstein wrote.
“If the Mets, or any team, commits to four years of Williams at $15 million per, they can likely place an opt-out after the second year instead of the first, guaranteeing two years of his services in the back-end of their bullpen.”
The Mets would bank on Williams being the dominant reliever he was with the Milwaukee Brewers and being a key part of the late-inning plans for the team.
Williams Open to Returning to Yankees
Although Williams had an up-and-down season, he did finish strong with the Yankees.
After he ended strongly, Williams said he’s open to returning to the Yankees in free agency.
“At first it was a challenge, but I’ve grown to love being here,” Williams said. “I love this city. I love taking the (subway) train to the field every day, I really enjoyed my experience here. … There’s a lot to like about this city, but it took me some time to adjust.
“I played in the smallest market in the league (in Milwaukee), to the biggest market in the league. I drove to the field every day; it took me 10 minutes to get there in Milwaukee. There’s just a lot of life stuff that’s an adjustment. I got here (to New York) a day before the season started and had to figure out my routine on the fly. The number of (media) people that want to talk to you, it was different. But I feel like I adjusted pretty well.”
Williams went 4-6 with a 4.79 ERA this season with the Yankees.
