Philadelphia Flyers steal goaltender from the Toronto Maple Leafs

After drama surrounding goaltending over the past two years, the Philadelphia Flyers have been in major need of a depth move, and now the team have made that in a low-risk move that could pay off big time down the line. According to their social media, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the AHL affiliate of the Flyers have inked 25-year old Keith Petruzzelli to a one-year deal.

This past season, Petruzzelli played in both the ECHL and the AHL with the Toronto Marlies, and with a solid 3.55 GAA in limited time in the AHL, he's shown that he has serious potential for the future. Standing at 6-foot-5, Petruzzelli is the prototypical height for a star goaltender in the NHL, and after posting a 2.90 GAA in 25 appearances for the Marlies back in 2022/23, many believed he could be a good depth piece for Toronto moving forward.

Now however, the free agent is on his way out, and with a clear path to the NHL for the former Quinnipac netminder, this is a fantastic career move that could pay off in a big way.
