The Flyers will be pushing their shopping carts through the free-agent market when it opens for business Saturday, trying to sign someone who can bridge the gap until Carter Hart, Felix Sandstrom, or another prospect is NHL-ready in two or three years.
Yes, the Flyers are on another Great Goalie Search.
Maybe they get past their philosophical differences and re-sign Steve Mason.
Maybe they take a chance on an inexpensive goalie like Keith Kinkaid or Mike Condon.
Maybe they sign a veteran like Jonathan Bernier, Brian Elliott, or Antti Niemi.
One thing is certain: General manager Ron Hextall is not comfortable going with Michal Neuvirth and Anthony Stolarz as his tandem, so it would be a major surprise if they didn’t fill up their shopping cart this weekend.
