Roster Moves: Flyers claim Pickard off Waivers

I hate this team
In the end, we need a healthy goalie at the NHL level. This gives us that.
Stolie is screwed most likely with us. He gets waived mist likely, and clears. No matter how he plays, the Flyers won't run with Hart and ?Stolie in 2019/20 at the NHL level. They will want a vet to pair with Hart.
I still think Stolie can be good, but him getting hurt last year likely killed his opportunity with us.

Love the move. Have wanted Pickard as a stop gap and we get him for free in a low risk move.

They were one injury to Elliot away from having to play Stolarz who blew out both knees and played a total of 4 games last season.
And you are getting a sense that Hextall was never high on Stolie when he only got him into 7 games during the 2016/17 season that was f***ed up beyond repair where a young goalie could have played plenty towards the end.
Neuvirth is made of glass.
Lyon is a fringe NHLer and injured right now.
They obviously don't want Hart in the NHL this season and it probably won't happen with the number of bodies on and around the roster now.

I was hoping (and posted) that the Flyers would pick up McElhinny but Carolina had the waiver advantage but Pickard is much younger and could stick for the season.
Time to move past Neuvirth. Let Stolarz play some AHL games to see where he is at before writing him off or declaring him the solution.

Lol at people clamoring for pickard. There's a reason he was waived. At least we know hak won't be giving him any starts.

Steve Mason turned things around in Philly after some terrible seasons in Columbus. Worse seasons than Pickard had as the starter for the league worst Avalanche when he was only 24.

Not sure Pickard will have a 3 year stretch like Mason (who still came up short in the playoffs), but we're talking an alternative to Lyon and Stolarz as a backup, not the future of the franchise. Though I also think he was better than he looked in that last year in Colorado, when he was a victim of a tanking team that left him out to dry.
The price was right.

You mean to tell me this happened on the first page, and at no time in the intervening 4 did anyone suggest the name Goaltron?
HF Boards, I am disappoint.

Elliott wasn't "broken" last year, he didn't get injured until late January, and he had a light workload in January.
In fact, he played better, like a lot of goalies, when he was "overworked," probably because he's not that athletic and needs to get into a groove where his anticipation is at a high level.

His contract expires this offseason. So that at the latest. They could put him on waivers & hope someone claims him or trade him. That’s the only two options of getting rid of him in season.

Well that sucks. At this point he does more harm than good by even being on the roster.
How exactly were they going to "deal with him". Nobody is trading for him, and buying him out would not have been worth it.good thing we didnt deal with him this offseason like everyone here knew needed doing...

I just had the terrible thought that the only goalie we have that can be sent to the echl is carter hart.

They are never ever going to be healthy at the same time and the Phantoms have a record of carrying 3 goalies.
No worries.
