It was announced today that the Flyers have signed Nikolai Zherdev to a one-year contract. Unfortunately, no financial terms were released.

I might be hearing things. It’s possible. That’s why I need you all to correct me if I am. There’s this video up on the official site of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Whether it’s signing goons to long term deals, planning on trading a fan favorite who’s spent 11 years here, signing a goalie before the seeing what was available on the open market, trading for…
