Sean O’Donnell signed with the Philadelphia Flyers a year ago today. Now, he’s signing somewhere else. TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported that he’s signed a one-year, $850,000 deal with the Chicago Blackhawks. It’s not surprising, really. SOD definitely wore down over the course of the season with the Flyers last year, and it’s looking as though…
The Adirondack Phantoms start training camp on Monday. They need players in order to have that camp, logically. Today, the Flyers began the process of giving them some players. According to Bob McKenzie of TSN, the Flyers placed goaltenders Johan Backlund and Jason Bacashihua on waivers today. Veteran defenseman Dan Jancevski joins them, as do…
Alright, so this kind of makes sense. As much as Matt Walker has been absolutely terrible in his time with the Flyers this season, and as much as it sucks that he has a $1.7 million cap hit to go with that bad play, he’ll be sticking around with the club for the foreseeable future….
The Flyers have acquired the rights to negotiate with goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, of Phoenix Coyotes fame. For the right to the thirty-year old netminder, the Flyers gave up Matt Clackson, a third round pick in 2012, and a conditional pick. You may remember Bryzgalov from his work in the 2011 playoffs…unless of course you missed…
Jim Jackson has been with us on Flyers broadcasts for almost two decades, and really, as someone that didn’t have the privilege of hearing Gene Hart call games live, he’s the only Voice of the Flyers that I know (sorry, Tim Saunders. We love you too). I’m sure it’s that way for a lot of…
Ian Laperriere is the only Flyer that can take home some hardware tonight as he’s in the running for the Masterton Trophy, going up against Ray Emery of the Ducks and Daymond Langkow of the Flames. Honestly, I won’t be mad if Emery wins either, since it almost feels like we have two dogs in…
Carter Hart made 37 saves and Oskar Lindblom provided two goals as the Flyers beat the Red Wings by a 3-1 final Sunday night in Detroit. The win is the Flyers’ 12th in their last 14 games as they continue to push up the standings in the crowded Eastern Conference. Hart was phenomenal, again, and…
Obviously we’ve been expressing a lot of anguish about the reports that Ilya Bryzgalov will get $50 million over 7 years and what that would mean for the Flyers salary cap woes in 2011-2012. But I’d like to look farther down the line. In 2012-2013, James van Riemsdyk will be a RFA and due for…
We’re getting a lot of search hits on our “Matt Read signs with the Flyers” story lately, and I guess that makes a little bit of sense: Paul Holmgren has said more than once that he likes the kid and thinks he can challenge for a spot on the Flyers next season, and several reporters…
Dale Tallon likes those old Chicago Blackhawks. Another one is joining him. Kris Versteeg has been traded from the Flyers to the Panthers for a second round pick in either 2012 or 2013 and San Jose’s third round pick in 2012. For the record, the Flyers traded a first rounder and a third rounder for…
