Report: Oilers, Flyers discussing potential Talbot trade

The Edmonton Oilers and Philadelphia Flyers have been in talks about a potential trade involving goaltender Cam Talbot, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Dreger notes the talks are believed to be "preliminary" in nature but are "definitely" taking place.

Other teams have considered trading for Talbot, including the Carolina Hurricanes, who had internal discussions "weeks ago," according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Talbot has seen his workload diminish significantly this season with the emergence of Mikko Koskinen. He's played just 31 games, going 10-15-3 with a .893 save percentage and a 3.36 goals-against average.

The 31-year-old is in the final year of a three-year, $12.5-million contract and will become an unrestricted free agent July 1.
