Since the deadline has passed for the Oilers to keep him as a RFA, will they sign him before he hits UFA status this summer?
Pretty much hit the nail on the head...I don't know if they were really intending to bring Stolarz back and whether he'd really have any trade value at this point. That trade was more about opening some cap space by moving Talbot's contract (I forget if it was a necessary move to activate Sekera).
Oilers probably will be on the lookout for a more proven backup. I don't think they even have a spot for Stolarz in the minors at this rate. Incumbent AHL starter Shane Starrett is RFA. Dylan Wells and Stuart Skinner have two more years left on their ELCs. And they have the rights to Providence goalie Hayden Hawkey who they could sign once the Friars are finished with the Frozen Four.

Talbot didn't have much value and we needed to make room for Sekera coming back.
We'll be after a more experienced goalie in UFA this summer since Koskinen only has 50 NHL games under his belt. Personally I hope they go after Lehner in FA.
Philly likely wanted a veteran around for Hart. At least one who was playing and not hurt like Elliott was.Still can’t believe the Flyers didn’t get a draft pick with Talbot.
Philadelphia did Edmonton a favor taking Talbots cap hit for just big Stolarz.
Philly hasn’t played Talbot that much either.

flyers did the oilers a favour. With Sekera coming off the LTIR they had to shed money and they did. Amused the flyers did not hold out for a pick
