From Darren Dreger at TSN:
Another bizarre twist in goaltending may soon unfold in Philadelphia.
Sources tell TSN former Flyers goaltender Robert Esche is on Philadelphia’s radar and may be lured back from the Kontinental Hockey League where he was playing with SKA St.Petersburg.
Philadelphia is one of a few teams believed to be interested in Esche, who spent four seasons with the Flyers before moving to Russia following the 2006-2007 season.
Barry Smith, the head coach for SKA St.Petersburg confirms the NHL interest in Esche, but says he won’t be able to let Esche out of his contract, which has one year remaining, unless he can find a suitable replacement in goal.

Philly does it again…diddles with their goaltending situation instead of solving it. Esche was the goalie of philly’s future 4 or 5 years ago (as I remember), Emery was the goalie of Ottawa’s future 3 or 4 years ago. Together they are the goalie of no one’s future. Seriously…just trade for a proven nhl goaltender with no incredible attitude or personal problems and your team will benefit. Just as with Biron and Nittimaki, NEITHER are actually starting goaltenders in the NHL. Ever hear of Gigeure? Khabibulin?
