Flyers Need To Have A Strong Offseason

Even though the Flyers made it all the way to the Stanley Cup and came so close to winning a championship, going into the offseason there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. The Flyers did not achieve their ultimate goal so obviously they need to make some adjustments. The biggest question is the who will be the starting goalie next season. From what I'm hearing, the Flyers are considering all of their options. Michael Leighton who showed he had No. 1 goalie is being considered for the starting spot. The Flyers are also considering acquiring a goalie in free agency or trying to draft one. The problem with both of these options is the free agent goalies are old and are going to be asking for way too much money. The draft is not that a great of a solution either as the Flyers do not have a first or second round pick and the picks they do have all come the tail end of the rounds. So for the Flyers they have to look to trade some players and try to acquire a goalie. They can package players together and either try to get a goalie or a top notch defenseman. I think that if the Flyers do decide to go with Michael Leighton they need to add help in front of him. Defense is key for the Flyers this offseason, and they need to make the right moves to get this franchise back to the Stanley Cup.
