I imagine they want a more reliable backup for this season to push for the playoffs. Stolarz has played well but is often injured.



I agree... I think a fresh start will suit him well. Playing in Edmonton cant be good for confidence.

yeah i watched trade deadline shit on tsn site last night and he was like maybe the return is stolarz maybe its mackenna
those are 2 very different valued goalies i dont think people have any idea of phillys goaltending tbh if they think we should trade stolarz for talbot or say it could be stolarz or mackenna like they are equal lol




we have 2 capable young goalies with a pretty capable 3rd goalie in elliot
why go out and bring in another goalie whos 31 to "mentor" hart forcing stolarz through waivers to get claimed or to rot as 3g stunting development when hart seems like he doesnt even need a mentor




we have hart+stolarz+elliot what dont you get about that? we dont need talbot for a decent backup we have 2 already
and honestly playoffs are a stretch at this point 8 pts is a lot to make up when the teams in front of you are also winning and if we trade simmonds our team likely gets weaker

Stolarz is (likely) gone at the end of the year. It would appear to me their trying to get something for a guy who's going to be a UFA, while also solidifying a backup/mentor for Hart for the next couple years. But yes, I agree it doesnt make a ton of sense considering how many goalies you have on the roster.

Stolarz is a 25yo rfa , talbot is the ufa. unless there’s a lot bigger pieces than talbot himself involved the only conceivable way this is a deal is if chirelli is in the flyers office.

Talbot is worth a 4/5th round pick imo. Every team (except pens) in the playoffs is quite comfortable in goal and Talbots cap hit is too high for them. The only other team who could use maybe use talbot is our southern rivals , he’s an upgrade over smith imo.

The Vegas Golden Knights and Winnipeg Jets are keeping Mark Stone on their radars prior to the Feb. 25 trade deadline.

Adding
Winnipeg is also in heavy pursuit of Stone, describing the Jets as "one of the most aggressive teams" in their pursuit of the Manitoba native.

Maybe wheeler gets shitfted to center if stone comes in?

Conner scheifele stone would be sick to see.

While hosting laine wheeler ehlers on the 2nd line makes them pretty up top.

So fucking sad how Oilers keep destroying careers of top prospects. Poolparty is on the block now, not sure even what he's worth but it will take some rehabilitation to get his game back




I wouldn't mind trading Stone to Jets because they wouldn't have cap space to re-sign him, there was chatter that he would consider coming back in the summer

Damn lol, that would be a sick top 2 lines.

is Laine still playing with Ehlers and Wheelers?

from what I've seen, he has like 5 points in 2019

Ehlers has been injured the last little while.

Laine has been playing with Roslovic and Little mostly.

I misread what he said, but it sounds like Laine is playing horrible
