Forwards: The captain Mike Richards edged out his teammate Jeff Carter by one point to lead the team in scoring with 62 points. Aside from his minus two rating, Richards helped fantasy owners across the board as his Philadelphia Flyers squeaked into the playoffs on the last day of the season. Carter, on the other [...]

We called it. This is why you listen to us. According to Gary Miles of the Philadelphia Inquirer, defenseman Chris Pronger will miss the start of training camp. At best Pronger had to be optimistic to not miss a game, but we expected a lengthier recovery. We will continue to follow this injury as we [...]

According to Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly, Chris Pronger underwent successful arthroscopic knee surgery July 27 to remove “loose bodies” from the area. While Pronger and Paul Holmgren claim he will be ready for camp, a 35-year-old defenseman who plays a rugged style and just played around 100 games may take a bit more time. [...]

A few weeks ago we released an arbitration list which named the players ready to do battle with their employers. From that list a vast majority settled with the exception of Stanley Cup winner Antti Niemi. Let’s take a short look at who settled and who is still prepared to go to war: James Wisniewski [...]

The Flyers cleared out some valuable cap room by dealing Simon Gagne to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday for defenseman Matt Walker and a 2011 4th round pick. Gagne delivers a hefty $5.25-million cap hit – equivalent to Martin St. Louis – but if he stays healthy, Tampa may have one of the deadliest [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers and winger Dan Carcillo will avoid arbitration and agree to a contract for one season and 1.075 million. At that rate, you have to figure Carcillo took a hometown discount to alleviate cap pressure on his team. He still puts himself in position to get a decent raise once the Flyers gain [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers recently signed Russian forward Nikolai Zherdev from Atlant of the KHL, less than one year after the New York Rangers walked out of his arbitration award. Z signed for a fair 2 million dollar salary which was roughly half of what he deemed his NHL price. This right winger has talent and [...]

At thirty-years-old, Simon Gagne may find himself on a new team. Gagne never laced them up for a team without orange and black colors but could be on his way out since he makes the third highest total on the team and could want a raise from that. Furthermore, his UFA status and age could [...]

Over the past few weeks, Dan Hamhuis went from Nashville to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and finally Vancouver. Was he worth a 7th round pick? Was he worth a third round pick? Was he worth Ryan Parent? The Canucks believe him to be worth a massive 4.5 million cap hit, 250K more than shot-blocking machine Anton Volchenkov. [...]

Deal away Ryan Parent for essentially nothing? No problem for Flyers GM Paul Holmgren who swapped a second round pick in next year’s draft for Andrej Meszaros. Meszaros, 24, comes in at a very reasonable $4-million per year until 2014 and will easily find himself a role on the Flyers powerplay. We’re hoping the move [...]
