Jason Akeson will be back in the organization next season. The 23 year old, who’s made it tradition to play in only the final regular season game each year, signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flyers on Wednesday. Akeson played very well in seven games with the Flyers during the 2014 playoffs against the…
P.K. Subban is an restricted free agent, and there’s word that he’s not all that close with the Montreal Canadiens on a new contract. The Flyers are one of the only teams in the league that actually have the balls to drop an offer sheet on another teams star player, so it’s not all that…
Philadelphia Flyers fans know the story by now. Chris Pronger, despite likely never playing again, will count against the Flyers’ salary cap during the offseason. The only relief the Flyers can get from his $4.941 million cap hit is by placing him on long-term injured reserve (LTIR). It’s at this point, though, that many fans…
Earlier on Wednesday, when the Predators signed Olli Jokinen, it seemed like the dream of a Vincent Lecavalier trade to Nashville was out the window. They got the extra forward they were looking for and were surely off the market, especially not for another center. Hell, we probably thought this possibility was over earlier in…
This is a smart move for the Flyers. They’ve traded forward Tye McGinn to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for their third round pick in 2015. McGinn played a handful of games in Philadelphia — 36 across two seasons, to be exact — but never really earned a long look at the NHL level….
The Flyers have added defenseman Nick Schultz to their roster, the team announced in Wednesday afternoon. He’s your NHL-level depth defenseman for the 2014-15 season. It’s reportedly a deal worth $1.25 million. Just yesterday, Ron Hextall mentioned the need for an extra veteran defenseman at the NHL level, and this is that guy. It makes…
The Flyers have added veteran tough-guy-who-punches-people Zack Stortini to their roster, the team announced Wednesday evening. The deal is apparently two-way, but financial details haven’t been released as of yet. Stortini has played for a good number of AHL teams in the past few years, and even laced up at the NHL level quite a…
Last night, literally minutes before the Flyers made a handful of small moves, I asked the denizens of the fine website of Twitter dot com for some questions about anything Flyers — moves that happened, moves that are yet to happen, the draft, butt-grabbing, whatever you can think of. Several submissions were unfortunately left on…
The Nashville Predators announced a portion of their promotional schedule last week, and …. well, OK, Preds. This is pretty good. Via the Tennessean: The Predators gave us a heads up on their bobblehead doll promotion schedule this year. They have six dates — but one especially sticks out. It would be Dec. 27, Shea…
Samuel Morin, the Flyers 2013 first round draft selection who looks like Chris Pronger and probably plays like him (or whatever), wants to be an NHL defenseman this coming year. That’s the takeaway from a French-language interview he gave to TVA Sports over the weekend. “I want to make the team. I got a taste…
