Trade Bryz in the deadline for picks and/or prospects, go with Scrivens till rest of the season. If he's good, resign him. Also resign Richard Bachman. Try to acquire Jonas Hiller during free agency. Plan B should be Jaroslav Halak.
Jonas Hiller + Ben Scrivens in the NHL
Richard Bachman + Laurent Brossoit in the AHL

Rebooting myself
I would like to see Schrivens and Bryz-- but I think we will see Bryz go elsewhere and the oilers will need to look at the open market for another goalie

Come wit it now!
I highly doubt that we will sign Hiller. If I was in his shoes... being the best UFA goalie available I would either ...
a) Stay with Anaheim
b) Sign with a better team defensively (ie. Minnesota, if they don't trade for Miller)
c) Sign with the Islanders who seem closer to making the playoffs than the
Oilers
I think we will be in the Halak/Bryz/Khudobin range. Or trade for someone else.

Throw everything at Halak.
Dude is very underrated. He is still very much loved in Montreal, and he hasn't shown signs of really slowing down.

Not to many teams will be looking for goalies this offseason...ourselves and the Islanders are the ones that will be trying to land a big name likely.
Calgary might but as they are rebuilding I doubt they will spend. Florida is a maybe and so is Washington. St Louis sign Halak or Elliott and they other will be a free agent. If Anaheim does extend Hiller, Fasth will be available via trade.
Miller, Hiller, Halak/Elliott are the bigger names to be available. I think the NYI make a big push at Miller and Hiller will be Edmontons biggest target. Or Fasth via trade.

Yes to FA + Scrivens, hell no to Reimer.
Hope we can snag Hiller though I expect it will take an overpay.

Scrivens and a new starter. Scrivens would be at the very least a very reliable back up for Edmonton. Hopefully they can find that starter through the free agency. I hope that we are able to get Halak.

This. Im not sure why Reimer was included in the poll. I would target a few different goalies ahead of him.

Im quite sure Scrivens will be back unless he plays his way off the team for the rest of the season.
Other than him, we will probably go hard after Hiller, maybe Halak (although im not a fan of the idea of him as our #1), but a real darkhorse for me would be one of Ward/Khudobin.
Ward has played terrible, but has been the Canes #1 goalie for years, and has a hefty contract, while Khudobin has played excellent but is a UFA. One of them will likely have to go, and Ward is more of a local boy...
If all else fails, I could see us giving Bryz another year or 2.

I think it'll be scrivens and X. The unknown will probably be in order of likelyness: Hiller, Halak, Miller.
in my opinion, and this is just going off the map here it should be Thomas Greiss, the guys been great this year and is 27, could be a chance to get a surprise at a low $ amount with plenty of hockey in him(bishop).
