The 29-year-old goaltender has had a rough season with the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms, posting a 5-8-2 record with a 3.26 GAA and .890SV% in 15 games with the Phantoms, and in just five games with the Flyers, he’s gone 2-2 with a 3.90 GAA and .864SV%. He is in the second year of a three-year deal worth $15 million and has a 10-team no-trade list. With his contract, it will be hard for a team to claim him off waivers.
