Flyers' Goaltending Issues Prompt Trade Speculations
Full Transcript
The Philadelphia Flyers are under increasing pressure to address their goaltending woes, especially following Dan Vladar's recent injury. With Vladar having performed well as the starter, the Flyers now face uncertainty as Sam Ersson has struggled significantly, posting an .858 save percentage and a 3.33 goals against average.
According to Broad Street Hockey, one potential solution could be acquiring young goaltender Dennis Hildeby from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Hildeby has excelled in his recent appearances, posting a 2.75 goals against average and a .916 save percentage while helping the Leafs navigate their goaltending challenges.
As the Flyers look to enhance their performance, a trade for Hildeby could benefit both teams, considering the Leafs have a surplus of goalies and the Flyers are in dire need of a reliable backup. The two teams have previously made trades, which could facilitate negotiations for a mutually beneficial deal.
