Bobrovsky - Good Read

Who is goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky? - Broad Street Hockey

You guys probably saw this already but I liked the comparison with Varlamov

"Consider this fact: Not one of Flyers goalies had a better SVG% this regular season than Bobrovsky did in the KHL"

Except, you know, Sunshine Eriksson. :p

I hope the signing of Leighton and this russian kid is not the only goalie moves we are going to make this year.

hmm.. looks like the flyers are starting to get some real solid goalie prospects.. that'll make 2 that could be #1 goalies in the future.. wouldn't that be strange, dealing a goaltender away because we already have a #1?

Anyone know anything about the $1.75MM cap hit? Is that contingent on his actually being on the Flyers or does that count even if he is on the Phantoms?

 

[awaz]

i dont think it'll count if he's on the phantoms.. no other minor league players count against the cap

from the articles i've read about this guy today, it kinda sounds like they think he could be the competition homer said leighton would face.. wouldn't that be something..
