The Philadelphia Flyers are actively pursuing goaltending options this offseason, and the Vancouver Canucks' Arturs Silovs has emerged as a potential target. Silovs, 24, recently led the AHL's Abbotsford team to a Calder Cup victory and was named playoff MVP. With Vancouver nearing a contract extension for Thatcher Demko, Silovs may become surplus to requirements, making him an appealing option for the Flyers, who are seeking a partner for Samuel Ersson.

Flyers General Manager Daniel Briere acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the goaltending situation, as current netminders Ersson, Ivan Fedotov, and Aleksei Kolosov struggled last season. Briere emphasized the need for improvement in this area, indicating that the Flyers are willing to make moves to enhance their goaltending depth.
