Backup Goalie to Philly
I think literally any goalie would be better than Leighton at this point. Not sure which goalies would be available, but I have heard that Ben Bishop from OTT might be traded. What would it take to get him? Never seen him play so I'm not sure how he is. Any other goalies out there that could be had?

Boucher is playing for the Phantoms and he's really only a last resort in case of a bunch of injuries

Haven't seen Boucher play since he left Philly but I'm assuming he's not great if he was demoted over Leighton. Philly needs a goalie that would be somewhat capable of starting a game every now and then, and honestly I don't think Leighton can do that.

If the isles take his salary I'd be willing to give you two whole cheese steaks

there's no need to trade for a backup goalie, let's focus on the defense right now

Any interest in Michal Neuvirth?

As a Pens fan, I would love if the Flyers did this.

Johnson is a good guy, was once a pretty solid goalie, but he was horrendous last season. I think the Flyers would know first-hand.
