Check out the full roster as…

Update (12 p.m. ET): Dan Cleary has signed with the Red Wings for one year and $1.75 million. The Flyers signed him to a PTO and seemingly had a handshake agreement on a three-year deal, but Cleary seemed pretty keen on the chance to re-sign in the city he’s spent the last eight years of…

*Finally, our long (re: two days) Dan Cleary-related nightmare is over; he’s a Redwing. Why he didn’t just take their first offer ages ago we’ll never know. *And even though we avoided overpaying Cleary for three years, we still don’t get Simon Gagne. Which seems cruel. Reports are Gagne may end up with Danny Briere…
As we mentioned the other day, the Flyers have erected a six-foot-tall sand sculpture outside of the Wells Fargo Center as part of their hype machine for the opening of training camp.

Hockey returns officially tonight as the Flyers travel up to London, Ont. for their first game of the 2013-14 preseason. It’s the annual “hey, Comcast-Spectacor owns the Flyers and also operates this rink in Canada, so let’s play there” game and let’s hope it goes off a little better than it did last time. Toronto…
