He was an above average NHL starter in his 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th NHL seasons with the Flyers. He was horrendous in his 3rd season and just a bit below average in his 4th season. Overall his career .906 save percentage would be a game-changer for the Flyers this season.
I mean, compared to what we have so far this season, sure, but Ersson is capable of playing .906 puck.

Healthy Ersson is fine as a young stopgap. The other two are mediocre even in the KHL and the Fedorov contract is just weird. But Bjarnason and Zavragin are a top 5 young prospect duo IMO and are good fits for the rebuild which is really just beginning.

As Flyers fans have mentioned…nobody thought the contracted goalies would be any good, they aren’t, and that’s fine.

Right I get that, but was he officially found guilty and doing time or anything like that? I cant imagine hes free and just simply quit hockey.
The trial is set for sometime in the coming year. I guess the rumors of the Canadian justice system being backlogged are true. I did hear in the summer, he wasn't even allowed to travel to Nashville(or to leave Canada at all), but some of the other players in that scandal are playing in the KHL.
