Will Flyers re-sign Mason to bridge gap to young goalies

When the season started, the Flyers' goalie plans seemed to be pretty straightforward: Steve Mason and Michal Neuvirth, each of whom can become an unrestricted free agent in the summer, would battle it out for the majority of the starts.

The winner figured to be given a contract extension. The loser figured to move to another team next season.

Ah, that was then.

Halfway through a rollercoaster-ride of a season, there are questions about whether the Flyers will re-sign either goalie.

Neuvirth missed significant time this season because of a knee injury. Barring a lights-out second half, Neuvirth - who had a career year in 2015-16 and was spectacular in the playoffs - seems too risky to be the No.
