The rumors and speculation started Wednesday night that the Philadelphia Flyers were interested in Edmonton Oilers goalie Cam Talbot. Late Friday night the reports came to fruition as Philly acquired Talbot and in return, sent Anthony Stolarz to Edmonton.
The Flyers have known for a while now that Carter Hart was going to be their starter next season, but it was the backup / 1B role that the team had to figure out. Talbot, who is an unrestricted free agent July 1st, will still need to prove that he’s the best option for the spot, but general manager Chuck Fletcher is clearly giving him the inside track.
