The Philadelphia Flyers would surely cease to be if its goaltender situation didn’t have at least some questions. After two years of a Steve Mason and Michal Neuvirth tandem that saw great success (mostly in 2015-16) and also disappointing lows (mostly last season), the Flyers jettisoned Mason and signed Brian Elliott as a replacement.
This decision seemed strange considering Mason outplayed Neuvirth last year- Mason posted a .908 SV% to Neuvirth’s dreadful .891- but regardless, the Flyers will move forward with two veteran goalies who are best suited to part-time roles.
Don’t forget Stolarz
Of course, the Flyers still have Anthony Stolarz still waiting in the wings, a New Jersey kid who’s now slated to spend his fourth year primarily with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
