The Philadelphia Flyers have a finite amount of options to choose from in free agency at goaltender. Brian Elliott could be the best one.
A lot changes with the NHL Expansion Draft ahead. Goaltenders are limited, making it difficult for teams to negotiate with free agents this offseason. Currently, two goaltenders scheduled for free agency are commodities for the Seattle Kraken.
With an additional team entering the NHL, the Philadelphia Flyers have a limit on backup goaltender options. They’ll have to hope the Kraken doesn’t select Chris Driedger or Jonas Johansson, two unrestricted free agents who cost the same as Brian Elliott.
