I guess he's back. Probably missed a meeting or broke curfew or something that's a really non-issue. Although, it was kind of weird that apparently whatever happened, he was told before boarding the plane after the game in Tampa that he wouldn't be dressed for last night's game. It was bizarre.
Who would really have interest in Bob at the deadline? It would have to be a team that's starter is injured. Unless someone trades for him real cheap and knows he's not coming back to their team next year. Think Ben Bishop that year with the Kings or like when we traded for John Vanbiesbrouck. Someone to give their starter a rest down the stretch and a team that knows he won't be back. For what it's worth, his playoff play is nothing really worth trading for as a rental. If a team wants to trade for him to eventually lock him up, that would be another thing, but trading for him as a rental for the playoffs would be questionable.
I still think the Flyers will wind up getting him or it will be some team that nobody expects him to sign with. Colorado maybe? Varlamov is a UFA and Grubauer is having a rough year that would probably make them hesitant to go into next year with him as the best goalie on their roster.
