What major changes do you think the Philadelphia Flyers will make during the off season?

What players will be lost, what new players do you want, any changes in the franchise... (looking for what's going on with the goalie situation)

1. 1. ) Back Up Goalie- who can challenge Biron for the top spot 2. ) A Couple new Defencemen 3.) Get Healthy
2. Phantoms move to Glen Falls(so we cant pull a bring a random guy up for one game situation) All goalies are free agents. i say they get rid of either Marty or Nitty, but they will keep Scott Munroe(my prediction) Im hoping they sign Knuble again but there isnt alot of cap-room to get big stars(Hossa, Gaborik, Gionta, ect) Ty Conklin would be a good guy for the Flyers to go for. Hopefully if Detroit doesnt want him, the Flyers will try to sign him. He did very well with the Red Wings and doesnt make alot of Money (if they get rid of Marty/Nitty we could go for Conklin who might want more because he did well this past season or a Forward/Defense-man)
3. I say they won't resign Knuble. Hatcher and Niitymaaki will also go bye bye. With that being said, i think they'll make a run for Gaborik but won't get him. They'll end up signing Manny Legace as well as Todd Bertuzzi.
4. I see Biron staying and Nitty leaving. I also see some defensemen going, maybe Alberts leaving and Sbisa being pulled up. I don't see many changes on offense. Maybe Lupul getting moved? I want them to resign Knuble, but it'll be tough. vanRiemsdyk might be playing some NHL hockey next year, too.
5. I've read that one of the goalies may stay and the other is definitely gone, but nobody can say for sure who will do what. Hatcher is considering a spot on the staff either as a coach or in player development (I can't remember which). They are going to try to sign Alberts and one of the other d-men. They also will try to sign Knuble. The Inquirer went on to speculate that Radek Bonk and his faceoff skills will be sought but he comes with a hefty price tag. That's what I read. My opinion usually varies from what I hear and read.
6. The Flyers are in negotiations with Biron and his agent...currently offering him $500,000 less than he made last year. They're also talking to Niiittymaki, but the rumblings are that Niitty's probably seen his last days as a Flyer. Former Bruins Knuble and Alberts are both Unrestricted Free Agents this upcoming year and it sounds likely that both will be allowed to walk in order to clear cap space for the team to make a go at Jay Bouwmeester.
7. They need to fix there goaltending.....big time, I would rather have Olaf Kolzig for a year and breed a Flyers goalie than resign Biron his days are over please don't come back Marty!
8. get rid of biron get rid of alberts keep everyone else knuble goes i thought briere but he was just hurt this season
9. sell the team.
