Eklund: Per Dreger: Flyers/Oilers Talking Talbot. Bruins Out on Panarin.

Solid reporting !

Time to see what Fletch can do using cap space as a trade asset. He's got some options to make a menu to chose from:

Elliot for Talbot

or

One of McKenna/Stolarz/Lyon and cap space for Talbot + ?????

The Philadelphia Storage Lockers

"We store your junk temporarily for a good price"

I still can't believe that the Av's are never mentioned whenever goalie rumours fire up.....seriously, they are comfortably in a playoff spot if they even would have had mediocre goaltending.

Not that I'm saying I agree, but they paid a hefty-ish price for Grubauer in the offseason so they are probably operating under the assumption that he's their future and giving up even more assets in the present doesn't seem to be Sakic's MO

Gonna have to stick a PODS outside of the Wells Fargo Center soon

I'm calling BS. Stolarz and Hart have played very well together as a tandem and there's zero reason to make a trade now for a backup. Those are the two guys going forward. There are much larger issues to tackle than what the strength of the team has been the last month or so

Talbot can't cost much....see if he can get on a run....maybe a talbot/Grubauer tandom next season.
They need to shake something up

After we trade Elliott to Edmonton, Colorado can have McKenna

Ek you've had every goalie in the NHL going to the Flyers. 2 bakers dozens at least.

This is an interesting change. Usually the Flyers trade for a goalie shortly
BEFORE their career dies.

If anything it likely means the Avs will trade for a goalie. By Ek not mentioning the Avs pretty much guarantees it.

Like I said, not disagreeing with your sentiment. But it's a business and it'd be tough for Sakic to go to ownership and tell them that he needed to cough up assets again to get a goaltender. That's basically telling them that you didn't do a good job on the first attempt.

The flyers don't need Cam Talbot. We'll give them Andrew MacDonald, sure

Flyers rumors? Who could've guessed that!

So Nyquist, Athanasiou, and your 2nd back for Wahlstrom

Don't doubt what's reported but if Fletcher is making moves like this then he's an idiot. He needs to worry about figuring out how he's going to be his Dmen going forward since we are overflowing with prospects who seem to be ready and finding another elite forward to replace Wayne.

To be making deals in the one area where they are performing well is ridiculous.

No, dont do it Fletcher, Hart and Stolie can handle the job. Talbot is just average.

I think Vinny Lecavalier and RJ Umburger are still rooming in one.

* Per sources...things can always change, but as of now at least there are no discussions between the Bruins and Blue Jackets regarding Artemi Panarin...In fact the Bruins aren't even considering Panarin...

This was a thing ??? ....news to me

If the Flyers are dealing with the Oilers I think they should insist on getting Oscar Klefbom and then make sure he's always on the ice at the same time as Oskar Lindblom, just to mess with announcers.
