Trade rumors are swirling around young goalie Logan Thompson, and there's a fresh team showing interest in him.
HockeyBuzz.com's Insider Eklund recently shared some significant news about Logan Thompson, the Vegas Golden Knights all-star goaltender.
His value should be very high, and we have learned in the past that Vegas moves guys who want out. The Sabres, Devils, and Canes are among those «holding their breath!»
While we already knew about the Sabres and Devils, the Hurricanes have joined the hunt for Thompson.
Carolina's interest in Thompson might raise eyebrows, considering they already have three goalies in Freddie Andersen, Antti Raanta, and Pyotr Kochetkov.
Why Thompson Fits In Carolina
Carolina's pursuit of Thompson starts to make sense when you consider that Andersen and Raanta are 33 and 34 years old, making their performance uncertain. Both of them are also prone to injuries, which is why Carolina is comfortable with a trio of goalies.
Thompson offers two advantages for Carolina. First, he can be a long-term solution, sharing goalie duties with Kochetkov. Second, he provides a dependable option if Carolina continues to use three goalies.
It seems increasingly likely that Logan Thompson will be traded soon. Wherever he ends up, his new team will likely rely on him as a crucial part of their goaltending lineup.
