He just needs to play a game here, a game there, almost never in a row. I think he can do that. Maybe not, I don't know, but it's not the end of the world.

mkscrewy Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 so-so signing. probably doesn't make a difference on the ice, but i suppose it could be good for Hart having an older vet for another year. i guess the question should now turn to "who do we have when Elliott gets hurt?" i haven't seen a lot from Lyon that inspires confidence in his time in the NHL. he could probably get by for 1-2 games, but there's been times when he looks totally bewildered out there.

OccamsRazor Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Jordan Hall @JHallNBCS Chuck Fletcher said Cam Talbot indicated through his agent that he was looking for a situation where he would play a little bit more than he did here.

OccamsRazor Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Jordan Hall @JHallNBCS More than what he anticipated playing here in 2019-20. He's hoping to become a No. 1 goalie again. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like the signing, but agree completely about Talbot. If Fletcher really did look around and Elliott was simply cheaper, or better value at that amount (and others may not have done only one year), then I'm okay if it enables the Flyers to have enough to extend the kids in a prudent manner.

mojo1917 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Moose is a good dude by all accounts, I think he could be very valuable in this role. I like that contract is only for a year also. Elliott seems like a cat who would be helpful even during games....he has been a good teammate- with Talbot I got the sense he wanted more pt even last year. So putting aside the Hart /Talbot friendship I think this is actually a good signing. Provided Moose doesn't wind up in the starter's role i think this is a-okay.

OccamsRazor Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Since 2015-15 his save percentage has went down every year...and his goals against have went up ever since. Not a good combinations...but i'm sure we can find something good to blame it on...how bout Lindros??? #loweringourstandards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 My only question about Elliott is whether the damage Hakstol did to him is fully healed, or if it's going to be something that lingers. If it's not a lingering issue, than he was likely the best FA option out there that wasn't a guy looking to be a starter. If he gets 30-35 games (that's the number of back to backs this season, right?), he should be fine. It's not an exciting signing, but I much prefer not getting excited over the backup goalie. Otherwise we're doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
