High reward?
He's been shit for 3 years.
Sounds more like "Low risk, You're high" to me.

Pretty damn clear to everyone except the terrible Flyers pro scouts and the completely clueless Chuckles the Clown.

I mean, it is true though. You can argue as to whether he's been THEE WORST, but he has certainly be ONE OF THE WORST.

Jones + Thompson = $2.8 million
Brossoit = $2.35 million

Considering Halak just signed for 1YR/1.5 (with 1.5 in potential bonuses) - yes, signing Jones to this is a bad deal.
I'd rather have Elliot at 900K
The point is this team is supposed to take a step forward and contend next year. Backup goalies are going to be very important with a condensed schedule due to the Olympics and wanting to get done by the pre COVID end of season date. Jones is not a guy you trust anymore. There were better options for around the same cost. Now we got 8 Million to sign Sanheim and Hart. Chuck screwed the pooch today big time.

I will never stop finding amusement in the irony of being called armchair GM (this is like the 5th time now) by a guy who started a "It is time to trade Claude Giroux" thread already in 2014.
Could hextall trade Claude Giroux?
Lo and behold armchair GMs.

Last 3 years, 29 goalies have played 100 games
Jones is 27th in GAA...better than only Quick and Holtby
Jones in tied for dead last SV% with Quick. Oh...and Hart is 5th worst
Goaltending issue has been solved!

$8m to sign Hart and Sanheim should be plenty. Hart should be bridged to make sure last season was a one off.

You must have missed the universal praise for Ellis move. I'm sure that's an innocent error on your part.
These moves since have been trash.

No wonder they like the off-season then. It’s one more step towards getting Giroux out of here.

Doesn't like the move....but has to give a silver lining.
35 year old Dubynk had an .890 save % on the Wild the season before. "Pre-trade to Colorado"? He had an .886 save % in his 5 games with the best team in the league. Dell is a career backup who had a couple good years, is aging, and was bad in Jersey in his 7 games (.857 save%) after a waiver claim. Talk about misrepresentative context.
Based on Fletcher's comments about the Flyers being "poor defensively" to singularly blame for hideous netminding, I'm beginning to think he doesn't believe goaltenders are responsible for any stats.

It's going to be tough to win the division, isn't it
Probably weren’t realistically anyway. Like I said goaltending is more random than anything but not real encouraging you acquired the one guy out there was in the same tier of awfulness as your goalies last year.

About the best I can say is that I'd rather have Jones than Elliott, and that at least it's a cheap one-year deal.
But that ain't saying much.

For a moment I thought that Chuck was making the moves that he was too satisfy AV and take away any excuses for failure. Now I think that AV has Chuck on a string. If the Flyers bomb out, they both will have to go.

After having some time to think about it, this move still FN sucks donkey balls. Fletcher completely misread the market and overps8d for the last "name" left.

exactly
He should be grateful to not be only offered a 2 way deal. We 100% should have just waited if this was the option
It seems like you are suggesting that I am saying he is going to do BETTER than he has in the last few years while you are saying he is going to do WORSE than he has in the last few years. Is that it accurate? If so, I can tell you that I do not think he is going to do better than that. Like I said he will be at or near .500. I also don't think he will do better than other options out there, they'll all be right in that ball park. I'm not sure what amount of hope you believe I have in thinking a guy that hasn't been a good goalie will continue to not be a good goalie. I just don't think this is the "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" type of move that others do.

Even the Atkinson move has plenty of fans, though it's more a split than Ellis.
Almost like it makes sense to like good moves and dislike bad ones.
