UPDATE 7/31, 1:42 AM – Tollefsen will make $600,000 this upcoming season. It’s a one year contract. The Philadelphia Flyers have signed free agent defenseman Ole-Kristian Tollefsen to a one-year contract.

Bob Ford, a respectable Inquirer columnist, talks about Marty Biron keeping up his recent play. There’s also some interesting talk at the end of the article, including a quote from Marty, about the Continental plane crash in Buffalo last week. Biron played in Buffalo for 11 seasons, and his wife has relatives that live in…
Interesting conversation with a source out of Philly that the Penguins, who were active Thursday acquring Chris Kunitz and a prospect for defenseman Ryan Whitney, are trying to pry forward Scottie Upshall from the Flyers, who are trying to free up space to secure their blue line.
