"Brian has played well for us the last two seasons," said Fletcher. "He is a proven, quality goaltender who competes and battles hard every time he has the net. We are excited to have him rejoin our team." Well there is out back up ....... Edited June 26, 2019 by pilldoc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 It's only $1.9M more than he is worth, so I'm ok with it given that Hayes is worth about $4M and getting $7M. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Well, the positive is that if Hexy were still here he would have paid Moose about 3.5M based on what he gave the previously worst statistical goalie in the league as a backup. It is Hart's net - if he can manage to stay healthy and prove decent goaltending I have no issues with it. Who else are they going to sign that is better than Elliot?

Two things that are far from a guarantee. I hope he can stay healthy AND provide decent goaltending. If we only get one or none of those, it could be a real problem again. 4 minutes ago, Podein25 said: What was the better or cheaper alternative? McEIhenney? I dunno, honestly, I feel that would be the wrong way to look at it. We have a 20 year old rookie goaltender who is expected to be THE guy in between the pipes for the next 15 years. Is it really smart asset management to overlook the guy behind him, who may need to become THE guy in the short term if Hart struggles or gets injured? If I were GM, I would have put more focus on getting the right guy to back up our young star-in-the-making. But, Fletch sent my calls straight to voice mail, so... Let's hope he made the right call. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is that he is not overused and plays 20-something games. I do think he was grossly overused last year but there is no guarantee. The issue is that I really don't see any other viable options without trading for one. Hope Hart and Moose stay healthy!

Well they have 17 back to back sets this coming season so he'll get his chance. Why does it feel like Chuck wants to be the kid in the class who just wants to he the kid in the class who turns his test in first. Feels that way to me. That way when the free agency bell goes off Chuck can just smile and say "DONE!" And then fails.. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On free agency (not kidding) I would have talked to Kinkaid and McElhinney. Kinkaid is actually good in a limited, 20-35 game role. Not terrific. Good. I was going to say that I think the Flyers priced themselves out of a free agent signing, but I don't think either goalie would have been much more than what they signed Elliott for. And less likely to get hurt putting cream cheese on their bagels. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you've witnessed it for two years. Well, Fletch hadn't, I'll give you that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
