The Philadelphia Flyers may be looking for a goaltender this offseason
Kevin Kurz: Philadelphia Flyers goalender Ivan Fedotov will carry a $3.275 million cap hit next year, and it’s hard to see him having a roster spot to start next season.
NHL Injuries: Thursday the 27th
The 28-year-old has a 5-13-3 record with a 3.20 GAA and .877 SV%. (Now fired) Flyers coach John Tortorella, when asked if Fedotov still needs to prove that he’s an NHL goalie.
“Oh, s— yeah,” Tortorella said. “S— yeah.”
Fedotov didn’t seem NHL-ready in training camp and in pre-season. Aleksei Kolosov hasn’t looked NHL-ready either this season.
GM Daniel Briere may have to look for a goaltender this offseason to play beside Samuel Ersson. Ersson has struggled with consistency but he has a higher ceiling that Fedotov does.
Will Thatcher Demko be looking for Linus Ullmark money?
Ben Kuzma of The Province: Vancouver Canucks 29-year-old goaltender Thatcher Demko has a year left on his contract at a $5 million cap hit. He’s looking for a strong finish to boost his stock.
31-year-old Linus Ullmark carries a $5 million cap hit and he signed a four-year extension at a $8.25 million cap hit. Demko could end up looking for this type of deal.
The Canucks did sign 29-year-old Kevin Lankinen to a five-year extension with a $4.5 million cap hit. 24-year-old Arturs Silovs will be a RFA with arbitration rights after next season.
NHL Rumors: Columbus Blue Jackets, A College UFA, and Jakob Chychrun Deal
