Some fans of other Canadian teams ripping the oilers for this but isn't Solarz a promising young goalie?

OK, I'll eat some crow here. I fully expected Fletcher to manage to extract a pick in this deal, and he failed miserably.
Not happy with how it panned out, but in the end, it's minor, and if Talbot proves to be the perfect backup to Hart, so much the better.

Philly did Edmonton a solid gaining cap space. Weak move by fletcher not gaining a pick with Talbot.
Better than the Elliot rumors. The Oilers get more cap space in this deal and a goalie with at least a little upside.
I think Talbot will do well away from Toxic Edmonton. I know he's a backup in Philly but I hope some team gives him a shot as a starter next season, Carolina perhaps?

He was 4th in Vezina voting two years ago. He was one of the best in the league at one point.

Carter Hart is a promising young goalie. Anthony Stolarz is a 25 and, partially because of massive time lost to injury, still has yet to show much promise.
If the Flyers re-sign Talbot, which they obviously must intend to do, this makes perfect sense for them. Stolarz was likely about to walk as a UFA.
You all know the reason Fletcher didn't get a pick is because he wasn't dealing with Peter Chiarelli, right?

This. It's all about Hart and his development. I like it for Philly.
I still dont get it. For a G playing worse, and making like 4 million more for the year, you get nothing?
I was expecting at least a mid round pick. Or maybe this comes with a massive 'IOU' between Philly and Edmonton that they will cash in later.

At one point in time, he was an excellent goalie. In 2016, the Oilers were 8th in the league in Goals Against. The Oilers. With that defence. Explain how the hell that happens without Out Of Body Experience goaltending. Eventually, the Oilers got to him and we are where we are.

Kinda sad how far Talbot has fallen, I wouldnt be surprised if he rebounds (next year), but he just hasnt been good the last year and a half. Probably the best the Oilers could of done considering the circumstances.

I like a Hart-Talbot goalie duo for the Flyers next year, but I'm not entirely sure what Stolarz does for Edmonton. Should be interesting to see how it plays out. Remember, Stolarz likely ends up an UFA after the year, so him staying isn't a guarantee.

Oilers shed salary heading towards the trade deadline as they chase the wildcard
Flyers improve their "vet back-up" with an expiring contract as they chase the wildcard
Win-win
