Scouting out the goalie market: Who might the Flyers target for help in net?

At some point between now and February 26, the Flyers are going to add another goalie to their NHL team. This seemed likely to be the case from the moment that Brian Elliott was announced to be out for 5-6 weeks following an injury he suffered in Arizona on February 10; any doubt that the Flyers would need to make a move was put to rest this past Sunday, in New York City, when Michal Neuvirth was taken out of the game after the first period with a lower-body injury.

Whether Neuvirth will be ready to play on Tuesday against Montreal or not (we have no more information on the matter as of this time, though that in and of itself is an ominous sign, and there are unconfirmed reports of a groin pull, which would definitely keep him out for at least a short period of time), the Czech netminder has been a perpetually ticking time bomb in terms of injuries since arriving in Philadelphia three years ago.
