I would sign UFA Goalie Niklas Bäckström he's 35 & can back up Mason

[Mario99]

And try and accumulate as many draft picks in this draft, Ed Snider is 80 years old and can live at least

Another 10 years, be patient and chill on Malibu beach or is that Larry Brown

Minnesota is unlikely to let backstrom go with Harding having his MS issues.

According to [GM Chuck] Fletcher, coming to terms with Backstrom is the club's No. 1 priority. The manager identified Backstrom as the clear-cut No. 1 goaltender on the Wild and a key piece to the team's success in 2013.

I'd like Backstrom, but I fear for the Flyers that, if available, he's this year's Vokoun.

but is Backstrom tall... he's got to be 6'2" at least.

Good choice but beside the Bryz problem... i can't see Minny letting him go for nothing...seems if they had planned on letting him go they would have traded him for something...not letting him walk for nothing...

Great scouting mojo! The cup shall be ours!

I've seen him listed anywhere from 5'11 to 6'1'. We'll just put a big hat on him, he'll be fine

Well him being shorter will work to his advantage...........he won't have to duck any pucks flying at his head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flyercanuck]

Who cares how tall he is.

How much does he weigh? And does he write eloquently?

[doom88]

Screw height, I want a goalie so fat, his spare tire touches both posts at once.

[murraycraven]

I did hear Eklund say that the Flyers are interested in signing Greg Goldberg... Quack, quack, quack...

Or just give him taller skates...

Except in goalie style of course.

I really don't understand Pittsburgh's thinking in adopting these.

I thought that the Cooperall skorts were going to be bad enough.

Now those would look good with the long pants the Flyers wore in 79-80
