Fred65 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Why didn't the Flyers sign this guy http://flyers.thecheckingline.com/blog/dustin-leed/philadelphia-flyers/joacim-eriksson-interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keslerific Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 He didn't have a big enough hit on their salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It's usually considered ballsy to not sign a top goalie prospect and since Paul Holmgren has balls, he didn't sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Trade him back to them for Samuel Morin haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phamda Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 They didn't sign him cause after drafting him he didn't have amazing numbers and they found a 6'6" with potential. Signed him and he failed a year into his contracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Read in another article that they decided not to resign him because he was still young and hadn't had his big season with leksands yet. went with a finnish giant (name escapes me at the moment) who showed well in europe but came to NA and ended up sliding down the depth chart all the way to back up in the ECHL. so basically, classic flyers goaltending decision.

mrsasaki Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm honestly surprised Holmgrem still has a job. The Lecavalier deal was not bad but other than that more or less everything hes done in the past few years has failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Because Holmgren makes bad decisions, he just has enough money at his disposal to throw around and mask his terrible decisions that he makes. Huge loss on their part, and in my opinion has Elite Goalie potential more so than Lack, Lack has number 1 potential, but Eriksson has that Extra something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
