PITTSBURGH — Oh, Penguins fans. You realize the Flyers were awarded the 2014 NHL Draft today and that we’re going to get a chance to one-up the hell out of you on this, right?

PITTSBURGH — With the 141st pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers have selected Reece Willcox, a defenseman committed to Cornell University this fall. In 52 games with the Merritt Centennials of the BCHL last season, Willcox scored five goals and 18 assists. He weighs in at 6’3, 150 pounds. Big defenseman. Alright…

At this stage of Shea Weber Watch 2012, it seems as though the Nashville Predators will be unable to match the Flyers’ massive 14-year, $110 million offer sheet, signed by the defenseman on Thursday.

Via MLive.com on Thursday: Detroit has…
The Flyers announced today that they’ve signed forward Ruslan Fedotenko to a one-year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, but according to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, the deal is worth $1.75 million. Pretty cheap. The 33-year-old Fedotenko earned $1.4 million on his deal with the New York Rangers last season. The Flyers also…
* Credit for the Phantoms’ goal was changed to Harry Zolnierczyk. * Eric Wellwood is still fast. And shifty. Still not a finisher, though. Early in the period, he flew down the wing, right past the defender and cut in on goal, but his shot was easily stopped by Tokarski. * Early in period, Brandon…
When the Flyers traded for Luke Schenn, they acquired a young defender with top-pairing potential they had not previously had. They also received $650,000 in salary cap space and much needed depth behind an oft-injured defense corps.

It’s worth every second of your attention that it requires, but in case you’re only interested in how the Flyers…
