Why?

Cam “elite goalie” “top 3” Talbot goes for nothing

I like it

Probably a win-win in the end. Stolarz is younger, cheaper, and has better numbers this year. Talbot is a great mentor for Hart and they're both already buddies and familiar/worked with each other before.

Cam is a great guy. Hope everything goes well for him in Philly.

 

[780il]

Talbot will now win the Vezina this year with Philly

Tis the "Post-Oiler Boost"

What is Phillies reasoning here? Give Stolarz a change of scenery?

I'm just not super familiar with the situation here.

Talbot and Hart know each other.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Don’t hate it. Talbot has been pretty poor this year. About the best value we could hope for.

Haven't the Oilers learned there lesson about making one for one trades?

Talbot and Hart are close off the ice.
Mentor - Mentee relationship

This is a good move to get Hart a guy he likes and is familiar with to show him the ropes a bit before he takes over as an elite goalie full time.

Stolarz is younger, cheaper and has better numbers this year.

Yep. I like it for Edmonton.

If Talbot can take some of the load off of Hart, this could work for the Flyers.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Remember that time Oilers fans said he was one of the best in the league? Good times them.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Oilers have cap space now..

 

[Jean Ralphio]

Cam “elite goalie” “top 3” Talbot goes for nothing

That's a sick nickname.

 

[Soundgarden]

I guess with Hart, Stolarz became available. I thought he was pretty promising.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Man, Talbot's stock has fallen drastically since 2017, huh?

 

[Jtown]

Brutal trade for flyers

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I have to say I am surprised PHI could not squeeze a pick out of this.

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

It is worth noting that the Oilers have alleviated 3.4M in cap space by shedding Talbot's contract off the books. This helps with their cap struggle.

Cool thanks for the info.

Wonder if Philly thinks they can re sign Talbot on the cheap, and prefer to give him big minutes over Stolarz next year?
