RUMOR: All-Star Goaltender Linked To Top Contending Team

Trade rumors are swirling around young goalie Logan Thompson, and there's a fresh team showing interest in him.

New Team in the Mix

HockeyBuzz.com's Insider Eklund recently shared some significant news about Logan Thompson, the Vegas Golden Knights all-star goaltender.





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.
