    The Flyers made a great choice in signing Hovinen last year. They've got their future starting goalie right here.

    Decent size at 6'6 (or 6'7?).

    Might come over next season, I believe.

    Yes he will.

    Going to be interesting to see if he'll take over the backup goalie job immediately or if they'll put him in the minors for a season. Depends on what they'll do with Bobrovsky but I have no doubt that Hovinen is NHL-ready right now.

    didn't even know that the flyers had placed him on waivers...


    Niko Hovinen has been claimed off waivers by the Edmonton Oilers. With Nikolai Khabibulin (hip) sidelined, the Oilers could stand to upgrade their goaltending depth. All the same, Hovinen doesn't have any fantasy value and at best will warm the bench in the short-term. Hovinen had a 3.14 GAA and .889 save percentage in 16 games with the ECHL Trenton Titans.

    Weird move by the Oilers. I thought Flyers put Hovinen on contract termination waivers and he was set to return to Europe.

    Mark this one as a miss for me. Hovinen has the size and talent to be a good goalie in NHL but don't know what his issues this year have been. He's had some hip issues so maybe it's caused the difficulties he's had this year. Or it's just the Flyers' magic touch on goalies.

    They're saying it's his work ethic, as to why the Flyers put him on waivers.

    it's funny, because in a lot of prospect reports, this was one of his strengths....

    he probably wasn't happy playing in the echl.
