Flyboys will probably opt not to re-sign Marty and keep Nittymaki.

Believe me, and I'm thankful to be saying this, Biron is a goner. Plus, hockey players usually don't hold grudges towards each other. Fighting is the nature of the game. You do it indiscriminately.

Doubt it... Biron is waaaayyy better than Emery... Emery shouldnt even be in the NHL anymore... He stinks, and is annoying as hell... It was a waste of money for the Flyers to sign him....

Maybe 5 years ago. Watch Biron from this past season and tell me Emery isn't an upgrade. Hate to break it to you, but Biron's washed up.

Biron did have a rough period last year, but I thought he came on and played well down the stretch. He was able to regain the starting job from Nittimaki going into the playoffs.

If the Flyers want to upgrade in goal, they need someone better than Emory.

I wouldn't have sent Miller packing to keep Biron in Buffalo. I like Biron. Nice guy, good goalie. Not nearly as quick or skilled as Miller. Miller isn't the #1 goalie in the league either, but he is better positionally than Biron, and tends to recovers quicker than Biron.

You won't get any argument about Miller from me, but Emery is younger and overall more talented than Marty "can't stay in the crease" Biron.
