Free agent Dale Weise signs with Philadelphia Flyers

The flurry of signings for back-up goaltenders have the Hockey Central panel wondering about the skyrocketing value of a quality back-up goalie in today's NHL.

Dale Weise signed a four-year, $9.4-million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers Friday, the opening day of free agency.

The 27-year-old right wing’s new deal carries a cap hit of $2.35 million.

Weise, a Winnipeg native, was on pace for a career season with the Montreal Canadiens in 2015-16, scoring 26 points in 56 games before being dealt as a rental player to the Chicago Blackhawks at the trade deadline.

He failed to find a fit with the Blackhawks, however, putting up just one assist in 15 games.
