Confirmed with Link: Alex Lyon re-signed, 2 years

[bennysflyers16]

Wonder if cap hit will be a bit higher to sneak thru waivers ?

 

[Rebels57]

And I still think Petr Mrazek would have got us to Hart and Sandstrom in a more competitive fashion than the rest of our goalies!​

Signed with Carolina on a one year $1.5 million...
Lyon's contract published yet?

We would have had to give Detroit our 2019 3rd round pick if we re-signed Mrazek. Not worth the gamble considering how congested our goaltending system is with other average goalies.

Hexy knows what's up. Lyon-Hart 2020.

I hope Lyon continues to progress; the AAAA tag by @LegionOfDoom91 Is pretty apt, IMO.

 

[flyersfan187]

Mrazek was too inconsistent for me. Elliot is consistent but came back injured, Neuvy is great when healthy and Lyon is a good number 3 goalie. I am fine with using those three next season and let Hart learn in the AHL. Stolie would be a nice surprise if he can turn into a solid goalie which he still could.

 

[GKJ]

Looking back on it I wish they would've just stuck with Lyon instead of making the Mrazek trade, but Hextall kind of had to do something

 

[Alex K]

I don't see anything special here...

Fine in the AHL but I don't see him sticking in the NHL.

If he plays in NHL, he can become a valuable asset.

Lol Lyon gets resigned and half the posts are immediately shitting on him. Well done boys.

Yeah, let’s give up another third for him (wut). While we are at it, let’s redo the B. Schenn deal as well, here u go St.Lu; Farabee, Frost and Lehtera for Schenn!

I highly doubt Stolarz will be with the organization next season.

He was absolutely terrible. I was one of the most positive people on our board about him, both before and immediately after the trade, but he was a bucket of puke for us.

Simba!

Barf bags will be handed out to the first 15,000 fans at Wells Fargo at every game this year also!
We're goin' have to wait for Mr. Pepto Bismol to easy our temporary discomfort of our stomachs!

sneak? No one would claim him

 

[Alex91]

That’s perfect for us. The first year 2way helps a lot.

Flyers
Elliot
Neuvy

Phantoms
Lyon
Hart

Royals
Stolie (Hopefully he accepts)

I’d bet a big amount of money that one of these guys are injured by December.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Unless you’re footing the bill the two-way the first year is pretty meaningless. He still has to clear the waivers to be sent down.

A 2-way deal has nothing to do with waivers, only NHL/AHL salary. He's still waiver eligible.

That's what a lot of people said about Mark Alt.

 

[Alchemy]

I think he can be a NHL backup. Somebody will give him that chance if he doesn't get it here.

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

I like Lyon. Hes been progressing since we acquired him. No reason to not see how far he can grow. He played fine in his NHL starts and was clutch for the Phantoms. If nothing else, it's good to have a strong goalie on the farm team. Much better than Labarbera lol

While Hart is the future, hes not gonna be handed the starting role for the Phantoms. He may very well earn that spot but he's still entering his first pro season. Good to have competition between Hart, Stolarz, Lyon for playing time on the Phantoms, compete to see who is the odd man onto the ECHL team (tho starts are starts, i wouldnt be insulted to develop there), and competition to see who gets to be the call up when Neuvirth or Elliot go down. I suspect Lyon will be first call up but who knows.

disagree. many teams would want to have a cheap backup. There are worse older options at backup goaltender.

No. Mrazek may play great for 10 games or get lucky for 25....but he will ultimately fail. Technically horrible acrobatic Hasek style wannabe. He's completely a false hope and easily replaced in the long run.

I guess that's all I was doing...HOPING!
And I do hope we get a bridge goalie soon enough!

 

[dats81]

Good third string option. I'm still not convinced that he can be a fulltime NHL backup.
