Yeah I really dont watch enough Flyers hockey to know how good Neuvy/Mckenna are. I view Talbot as an upgrade to them and it wont cost them much. The Oilers need the cap space to bring Sekera back and I imagine the trade is likely Talbot+Pick for a cheap goalie.
I also might be over valuing Talbot because getting out of Edmonton will likely lead to improvement. Playing behind one of the worst defenses and in that toxic environment cant be good for confidence.
but is he an upgrade over stolarz+elliot as a 2-3? i mean there both pretty good have gotten hurt sure but elliots going to be a 3rd goalie not the #1 playing as often to get hurt
the flyers d has had issues of its own it seems to have improved slightly with a new coach but its probably not much better situation tbh
neuvirth is on IR atm and mackenna was a waiver claim with some nhl games but if its just a 3rd goalie mackenna could probably do fine
who do you guys see talbot bumping out in hart-stolarz-elliot trio? unless we get a pick+talbot for elliot or something and he becomes our 3rd goalie and we just take on rental cap for a pick
