Flyers will need to waive McKenna, Elliott and or Neuvirth
Niemi is just not cutting it as a backup, too inconsistant.
All of them are UFA.
One of them to Montreal for a late pick?
I agree that Niemi seems to have passed his best before or play by date. I would not spend assets on either of those 3 goalies as I don't see any of them being much of an upgrade on Lindgren. Habs have 4 B2
B left i think. Don't see backup getting much more than those 4 starts.
If Price gets hurt it doesn't matter- they won't make the playoffs.
That said those 4 starts may be the difference between making it or not. I would seriously consider waiving Neimi to bring up Lindgren as soon as the next B2B which is next week Monday and Tuesday.
Since the 23 man roster limit ends on Trade deadline day- monday at 3 pm, they can call lindgren up to play on Tuesday without worrying about Niemi on waivers. (thinking as I write here)
