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…

The Flyers’ looming cap issues made speculating on next year’s roster fun sport even before the Bryzgalov acquisition, and now it’s completely wide open. It’s time to exploit that for some entertainment value. We’re going to have a guess-the-roster pool. To enter, go to the Cap Geek 2011-2012 cap calculator, fill out your best guess…

He also signed up for a Twitter account, posting the following messages…
Less than four days after trading Jeff Carter, the Flyers announced that Wayne Simmonds will wear his old number this year. Additionally, Jakub Voracek will wear #9, Brayden Schenn #10, and Kris Versteeg #32. A bit of a shakeup there, with Versteeg giving Schenn his old number, and Voracek going from wearing #93 in Columbus…

Bam, bam, bam. Salary cap? Hurdled. Goaltending problem? Solved*. Core? Broken up. To complete today’s craziness, the Flyers signed unrestricted free agent goalie Ilya Bryzgalov to a nine-year, $51 million contract that will give him a $5,666,667 cap hit until he’s 40 years old.
