Rumor: Flyers Plan To Help Edmonton Oilers Goalie Situation via Trade of Hart or Ersson
As the NHL season progresses into its second month, teams are identifying areas of concern and strategizing necessary fixes. The Flyers, currently undergoing a rebuilding phase, commenced the season strongly but have encountered recent setbacks following an injury to goaltender Carter Hart. Hart is nearing a return, which will leave the Flyers with multiple goaltenders in their system.
This surplus of goaltenders provides the Flyers with trading options, and a particular NHL team is in dire need of a new goaltender due to the failure of their anticipated starter. Jack Campbell of the Edmonton Oilers has been placed on waivers and reassigned to the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL.
Despite being in only the second season of his five-year, $25 million deal, Campbell will now navigate the AHL as he endeavours to rediscover his form. His cap hit will amount to $3.84 million, serving as a cap penalty for the Oilers.
The Flyers, recognizing an opportunity, can engage in negotiations with the Oilers. Cal Petersen, a proven NHL goaltender, acquired in the Ivan Provorov trade from Los Angeles, could be a valuable asset in facilitating a mutually beneficial trade.
General Manager Danny Briere has expressed his willingness to absorb unfavourable salary contracts to recover draft picks or prospects and expedite the team's rebuilding process.
Whether these teams will agree to a trade remains uncertain, but the potential for a deal certainly exists. Only time will reveal if these clubs are open to engaging in trade discussions, but the market is undeniably present.
