Even worse, they were last in the NHL with a Save% % of .879. Their solution, signing former Calgary Goalie Dan Vladar to a 2-year deal with an AAV of $3.35 million.
It is another body to throw at the problem, but perhaps not a great fix. Vladar was 29 in Goals Allowed per Game (2.8) and 32nd in Save% (.898). He is an upgrade of the links of Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov, but not by all that much.
Those two played 43 games in the net last year. Vladar set a new career high in games played last year with 30. So either he will play a lot more games than he is used to, or even more weight might get put on Sam Errson. A player who already struggled at times with the weight of his role last season.
It is the latest in a flurry of moves by the Flyers. Earlier, they added two former Rick Tocchet players in Noah Juulsen and Christian Dvorak.
