The Philadelphia Flyers may end up being buyers at this year’s NHL trade deadline. Well, not exclusively. While the Orange and Black are still looking to sell their pending free agents, general manager Danny Briere could be looking to add some depth in the form of an inexpensive veteran forward or backup goalie option.
The Flyers have relied on Samuel Ersson as their starting goalie for over a month now and while he’s done an admirable job, Cal Petersen has not. The $5-million man allowed seven goals on 32 shots against the Penguins before being sent down last week.
