The Flyers are on the verge of cutting ties with goalie Steve Mason, according to his agent, Anton Thun.
Mason, 29, the Flyers’ main goaltender the last four seasons, can become an unrestricted free agent July 1.
Thun said Wednesday that he and Flyers general manager Ron Hextall have talked recently, but have not had any formal contract negotiations. “Unless something changes between now and July 1, he’ll be going into free agency,” Thun said.
The agent said he expects Mason — whose 104 wins with the Flyers are third in franchise history, behind Hextall (240) and Bernie Parent (232) — to be headed to another team.
