Anthony DeMarco

the starting goaltender for the Flyers.

And then Urson just couldn't find consistency.

He got his game back on track kind of towards the end of the season.

And Danny Breer said it publicly yesterday.

I believe he said it on overdrive and on during his press availability that he's a battler and he finds ways to stay in games and very good in the shootout, but just lacked a consistency.

So in a roundabout way, Steve, I just think that his game was really...

really hurt by like a poor development path by not having something, a guy to fall back on like a good veteran backup goaltender.

And I really think a change of scenery is what he needs more than anything else.

And I can tell you the Flyers feel the same way.

Well, I think first and foremost, he is everything that the Leafs back end lacked under Bradtree living in Greg Berube, a puck mover, quick undersized for sure, but can get the puck up to the forwards.

And I think you guys could tell me better than anyone that that is the biggest problem that the Leafs blue line had this past year was getting the puck from the, from their own zone up the ice.

Um,

I think he's a competitor.

I had people with the Flyers tell me yesterday, and I believe Danny Breer echoed this in his media availability, that he will skate through a guy no matter how big the player is.

Big time competitor, a workhorse.

But I think when he gets into the offensive zone, that's where you kind of, he lacked a little bit where like it held them back from being used on the power play, which the Flyers have had.

had a historically bad power play for like three years now, specifically lacking a power play quarterback.

So I think that's where like you kind of want to see more from Andre's game.

And he didn't do enough to establish himself as a top four defenseman.

And you saw at times, like even in the playoffs, as a lot of veteran coaches do, they'll go and lean on
