The Flyers made the announcement Thursday afternoon that they had signed Swedish goaltender Samuel Ersson to an entry-level contract. According to CapFriendly.com, the deal is worth $925k for three years. With the signing, the Flyers add even more depth to the goaltending position in North America. Kirill Ustimenko has one year remaining and is coming off of surgery to repair a torn labrum. Felix Sandstrom is a restricted free agent, but will likely be offered a contract when it’s time.
Interestingly enough, Samuel Ersson signing his deal has a few ripple effects throughout the organization.
