One of the most notable goaltenders available for the taking happens to be a former Philadelphia Flyer, as Martin Jones is still looking for his new home.
Jones, 34, spent this past season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he was primarily their third-string goaltender. Overall, he handled himself well with the Maple Leafs, as he posted an 11-8-1 record, a .902 save percentage (SV%), and a 2.87 goals-against average (GAA) in 22 games. After a decent season like this, he could receive some interest from clubs looking for more goalie depth.
Jones' experience also could make him get some consideration for a professional tryout (PTO) agreement or league-minimum contract. In 466 career NHL games split between the Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks, Flyers, Seattle Kraken, and Maple Leafs, he has a 236-171-36 record, a 2.72 GAA, and a .905 SV%. In his lone season as a Flyer in 2021-22, he had a 12-18-3 record and a .900 SV%.

Nevertheless, there is potential for Jones to land a contract before the start of the season. From here, we will need to wait and see what happens on that front.
