TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Well.... Normally a move like this I think, "Ok, this is a minor league move..... some bodies that need to play in the AHL while real NHL prospects are moved up" However, given the Flyers' situation this season, he might ACTUALLY see NHL time with the big club. As for those who asked who McKenna was, he basically is a minor league journeyman goaltender...putting up ok numbers while playing for various clubs down there, and seeing some occasional NHL action with a bunch of other clubs. For those who said "desperation" about the Flyers, that seems about right....especially if he sees significant time with the Flyers themselves. His wife may seemed "thrilled" to be coming to Philadelphia, but if Carter Hart really does take control over the crease (and Flyer management decides to put Stolarz or Lyon backing him up....ideally), then she may find that her stay in Philly (ahem...Lehigh Valley) may be with Phantoms accommodations instead of Flyer ones.... At any rate, yea, McKenna SHOULD be manning a Phantoms crease while younger more viable goalies play in Philly....but with the Flyers just wanting someone, ANYONE, who doesn't require duct tape to keep them in one piece, playing goal for them, Mr. McKenna just may see playing time with the big boys. Also, what better way for the Flyers to sneakily "Lose For Hughes" eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertaflyer Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Who ever is the Flyers goalie mask artist he's making a killing this season. It's like one every two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD19372 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 How long until Jeff Hackett makes a comeback? I mean will the Flyers be having blind auditions with people off of the damned street? SMDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It seems to me Fletcher as a plan to move one or more of the 5 goaltenders not named Carter Hart in a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they need a pulse to qualify though, right? Lol I think you’re right, that he’s looking at a longer term plan, but I think McKenna was a desperation move because of circumstances. Pretty much Pickard redux. The Flyers have a shortage of healthy bodies. And I think that *really* messes with whatever plan he’s got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Honestly, I really get the feeling something was in the late stages with Craig Anderson and was interrupted when he got hurt. Now the Flyers are preemptively hurting goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. But CF obviously couldn't think that far: McKenna 35 years old, Lehtonen 35. Lehtonen 310 wins in 649 games, SV% 0.912, McKenna 7 wins in 34 games, SV% 0.892 CF: "We take McKenna in a heartbeat!" Or has Lehtonen retired already...

Having the chance to pick first doesn't guarantee you'll get a superstar. And IMO, in pro sports you should only aim for wins. Why losing purposely gets awarded is beyond me...

Well I think it's a moot point to begin with. They don't have to tank they are trying as hard as they can I guess the reality is they just aren't that good.
