Whats the Carter Hart update?

The dude is a degenerate and no one wants him.

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.

Was there ever an explanation for why they gave Fedotov $3.275M after just 3 NHL starts (where he had a 4.95 and .811)?

If I had to guess, his stock was high after the 2022 Olympics. Entice him with a big contract to come over. The shitshow that followed in just bringing him over was unforeseen.

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.

I'll never understand this contract. He wasn't even that good in the KHL the year he came over. He ranked 23rd in SV% among goalies with 25+gp. The KHL only has 23 teams.

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.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

You notice it's always Philadelphia that has terrible goaltending?

I miss Robert Esche lol.

The trial starts in April.
Hart didn’t receive a qualifying offer and is a UFA.

That’s a blast from the past.

And he’d still probably be their best goalie today.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Remind me again when was the last time any Flyers fan thought they had a good goalie? Even the rapist dude was ok but still got a lot of hate. Bryz had a moment when he looked really good, but once he let in one soft goal it was over. Im not saying Philly is the goalie cemetery because of the fans, but it has to be part of it? Maybe im wrong?

Steve Mason had solid numbers three years in a row, thats how long its been.

Same agent as Michkov I think, so they could be buying some good will with him.

Mason's time with the Flyers was really underrated. He was tied for the second best even strength save percentage from 13-14 through 15-16.

Torts could resort to everyone is goalie and all trap and retreat system and it would help the goalies numbers but, the team would still probably me mid AF and less entertaining. Flyers show up and battle at least. They generate a lot of rush chances but, just don't finish as much without elite talent.

Man, the Flyers goalies are rocking some 80's goalie stat lines

Errsson = 7-6-2 with 3.28 GAA and .872 sv pct (+1 SO)
Kolosov = 4-6-1 with 3.34 GAA and .878 sv pct
Fedotov = 4-4-1 with 3.48 GAA and .877 sv pct

From what I have seen from Flyer highlights and a few games they all look as terrible as those stats would indicate

Flyers D is not good but the goaltending in Philly this year seems to be a notch above rest of league in how terrible they are

Why are they even carrying 3 goalies at this point?

As for three goalies They are afraid someone would claim Fedotov at 3.25 million at 2 years (insert laugh track).

Ersson it might just be 2nd year goalie blues. It happens. Kolosov a year early and changing to NA ice you hope is the issue.

Long term you hope Zavragin or Bjarnason can play cause no one on the roster is a starting nhl playoff goalie.

Interesting. Good on NHL GMs then. You know any decent NFL player would be on another team 10 minutes later.

I guess to keep him over here ?

One of those games was against the Habs and he looked terrible.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

We're a bad/incompetent team who lost our best goaltender to being an alleged sex offender

I don't know what to tell ya

Could have reposted tho thread for decades and it would still fit.

My theory is a good chunk of that money went to other people in Russia.

Ivan Fedotov | 2yrs x 3.275M (PHI)

Ivan Fedotov signed a 2 year, $6,550,000 contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Apr. 23, 2024. The contract has a cap hit of $3,275,000.

The contract also has signing bonuses paying most of the salary up front.

This makes sense. Surprised there hasn't been more scrutiny on that and the Michkov release clause. I still don't understand how they paid that without being in direct conflict with US sanctions lol
