Flyers have no interest in Niemi

AnttiNiemi1 300x199 Flyers have no interest in NiemiThe Philadelphia Flyers had an amazing run through the playoffs and at times got some great goaltending from Brian Boucher and Michael Leighton. But, the bottom line is that they are backups who should not be starting on a team that has a Stanley Cup on the brain.

So, one would think that if the Flyers got the chance to sign the goalie who won the Stanley Cup, they’d go for it, right? Nope.

With Chicago Blackhawks goalie Antti Niemi on the open market after Chicago balked at the idea of paying him $2.75 million (which is what an arbitrator ruled was his worth). And, according to Flyers GM Paul Holmgren on Monday, the Flyers aren’t interested either.

We understand why they aren’t. Niemi is just not that great. But, what is a little concerning is the fact that Holmgren thinks he’s set with Leighton, Boucher and Johan Backlund. You can’t really be okay with that group on a team with Stanley Cup aspirations, right?

  2. I just discovered your web site on yahoo and see that you’ve got some wonderful thoughts in this post. I particularly appreciate the way you’ve been able to stick so very much believed into a fairly short submit (comparitively) which creates it an thoughtful post on your subject. IMHO you set lots of good information in this upload not having all the filler that most bloggers use just to make their posts look longer, that is ideal for a gal like me who doesn’t have a lot time cause I am generally within the go. I often get so frustrated with so numerous with the final results in the main SE’s due to the fact they often seem to mainly be filled with filler content that frequently isn’t very sensible. If you don’t mind I am going to add this post and your weblog to my delicious favorites so I can write about it with my family. I appear forward to coming back again to study your long term posts too.
