How terrible of a vet must you be for Tortorella to get sick of you?

Torts is strapping on the pads and showing the boys how it's done himself.

Primeau would make sense, since he’s still young, and from the area.

Agreed, Mtl has to move one eventually but they want to move Allen. While neither has much value I suspect Allen can be had for free as long as there is no retention.
Not sure what you have in system goalie wise, do you need a young one or a stop gap like Allen until someone is ready

The worst waiving since Gostisbehere. That actually reminds me: Ghost had a cheaper contract with salary going down, whereas Petersen's goes up. One was also an AHLer, but that's not really the important part.

I’d be surprised if they were doing anything other than calling up Sandstrom right now. In fact, I am a bit surprised Petersen didn’t at least get a second chance.

Nope not today.
Maybe they don’t send him down once he clears and they give him the start against Ottawa

He was given 5 chances this year. 86% of the time, he did what you need to do 90% of the time, so we need to see 100% less of him.

It’s doubtful that anyone will claim him even in this period where there is a shortage of decent goalie play. If someone does, the Flyers can make a deal with a bunch of retention in order to get him off of the books. He’s seen his last game in O&B.
To be fair when they got him I said he would be a good tank commander, but you don't need a tank commander if you don't got a tank to command.

Too bad. I thought he was really useful.

Petersen stinks.
Sandstrom also stinks, but at least he saves them a few hundred K in cap & is Swedish buds w/ Ersson?
Would not be surprised to see the Flyers add a goalie in a trade before the deadline.

One of the games he didn’t even start, and two others they won, one of which he was great in. Even with the game on Sunday, he did better in his 5 starts this year than Ersson did in his first 5. He should get another game, unless there is something Briere is about to make happen.

Anyone that is shocked at this move clearly isn't watching him play.
While he has won games here, the flyers have won games in spite of Peterson. He also put up quite frankly, brutal numbers for the Phantoms for an "NHL" goaltender. The penguins game was the worst display of goaltending I've ever seen. The saves he made looked down to pure luck, and he looked shocked everytime the puck was in his glove and not the net.
He's awful. The basics elude him. I've never seen a goaltender look so utterly lost in the crease in all my time as a Flyers fan. This guy would struggle in the EIHL let alone the ECHL.

There always is the possibility that some goalie starved organization might want to take him on as a rehab project. Once upon a time he was a good goalie. Obviously not on his current deal but with massive retention by the Flyers he might be worth trying to fix.

No, there really isn't. Not for $5m. There is 0 possibility that any team is ever taking a sub-.900 save percentage $5m goalie as a rehab project. Or even retained, which is not what we were talking about.
