I don't really understand the overreaction here if I'm honest.
This is obviously what it cost to get him out of Russia. I wasn't sold on his ability in those three games, but I also recognise the poor bloke doesn't even have equipment that fits yet. He's a boom/bust prospect. If he hits, then Holy shit does our goaltending pipeline suddenly look impressive.
A full offseason on small ice, English lessons, getting comfortable being out of Russia, sorting out living arrangements. People always forget the human element to moves like this. He now has a real chance to be an NHL goaltender. If all it took was 3m on the cap, I'll take it.
We have Atkinson, Johansen, Deslauries and Peterson all coming off the cap next year, Ellis and Risto the year after.
There's still a liklihood of Konecny and Laughton being moved. The flyers are going to be flush with cap space in 2 years time.
