Re: The Official 2018-19 Season Talk Thread
Oilers and Flyers swap out Talbot for Stolarz. Talbot is on an expiring deal, while Stolarz will be a RFA.
From the Oiler's perspective, after overpaying Koskinen (Chia's parting middle finger), they can't really keep Talbot, and they're getting something for him. For the Flyers, I guess they get some stability in net for the stretch run? It's not a significant cost for them as Stolarz had seemingly fallen out of favor with the organization. Could also be a bit of a "try before you buy"; where if Talbot hits, they'll have the inside track on resigning him.
