Philadelphia Flyers: My Money’s on Mason

What Ron Hextall is doing with goalies at the Philadelphia Flyers is not getting much attention. Everyone seems to have noticed his piling of picks and prospects, and his slow approach with bringing along prospects.

Perhaps equally noteworthy, however, is his approach to the goalie position. You’d hope a former goalie would have some insight to the position, even if the current thinking is that goalies are hard to figure out and nearly impossible to draft.

In the last year and change, Hextall has drafted 3 goalies within the first 3 rounds of the draft, and signed the most highly rated goalie coming out of college this year.
