Anton Thun knows his soft rock.

The agent for Steve Mason made reference to a certain chart-topper when asked about his client's future by Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Carchidi asked Thun via email Thursday if Mason was still considering the Philadelphia Flyers or if that ship had sailed.

“Google Christopher Cross’ greatest hits," the agent reportedly replied.

One of Cross' most successful tunes was 1980's "Sailing," off his eponymous debut album.

Thun implied Mason's days as a Flyer were numbered a couple of weeks ago when he told Carchidi the club didn't enter into contract talks with the pending unrestricted free-agent goaltender, adding that the agent and player were moving on.

A couple of days later, Flyers GM Ron Hextall told the Courier-Post's Dave Issac that Mason was still an option for Philadelphia.

The Winnipeg Jets have reached out to Mason's camp, as the Winnipeg Sun's Ken Wiebe reported Wednesday.
