"The Philadelphia Flyers added to their goalie depth this summer, signing Dan Vladar to a two-year, $6.7 million contract. However, even with this being the case, the Flyers still have their doubters when it comes to the goaltending position. In a recent article for Bleacher Report, Joe Yerdon ranked the Flyers' goalie tandem of Vladar, Samuel Ersson, and Ivan Fedotov 31st in the NHL."
"Vladar, 28, spent this past season with the Calgary Flames, where he posted a 12-11-6 record, a 2.80 goals-against average, a .898 save percentage, and two shutouts. Overall, he has been a serviceable backup throughout his career and will be looking to provide the Flyers with more stability between the pipes. In 105 career NHL games over five seasons, he has posted a 49-34-16 record, a 2.99 goals-against average, and a .895 save percentage."
"Ersson, 25, posted a 22-17-5 record in 47 games with the Flyers last season but also had a .883 save percentage and a 3.14 goals-against average. The 2018 fifth-round pick is entering his fourth season and will be looking to have that big breakout season for the Metropolitan Division club. In 110 games over three seasons, he has recorded a 51-39-12 record, a .888 save percentage, and a 2.98 goals-against average."
The Philadelphia Flyers signed Dan Vladar to a two-year, $6.7 million contract to add goaltending depth, but the tandem of Vladar, Samuel Ersson, and Ivan Fedotov ranks 31st in the NHL. San Jose is the only team ranked lower. Vladar posted a 12-11-6 record with a 2.80 GAA, .898 save percentage, and two shutouts last season and owns a 49-34-16 NHL record with a 2.99 GAA and .895 save percentage overall. Ersson went 22-17-5 with a .883 save percentage and 3.14 GAA last season. Fedotov struggled in his first full NHL season with a .880 save percentage and 3.15 GAA.
