Worst backup available one that conjures up miserable memories. Not to mention the guy has played one game in two years. What's the rationale for bringing this stiff back?

Amazing how the yes men have no issue with it. Lot of people would make fine citizens in North Korea.

It was a weird signing, but don't let it bother you...
Giroux, Couts, Schenn X2, Hartnell... great team next next year
rinse repeat... its all good

plus your boy Shelley will be done if they end up re siging MAB and going 8 deep on D

Ryan is an FA in 2 yrs too. Whatever teams gets him will want to sign him to a l-t extension.

Knowing he's coming to Philly in a few years regardless, what GM will give up prime assets for a short term rental?

They can get Proust for 2-2.5 if they want to spend that much for a good role player... a la Max Talbot

Ok, well then I knew they had the space to resign Leighton whenever they wanted. Satisfied? It isn't that confusing

There could be some sort of benefit to signing him at noon rather than prior to the deadline.

I love how Flyer fans are always in agreement as to what direction the team should take.

What would YOU like to see Flyers do in free agency?

Focus on re-signing own FAs, add backup goalie
24%
Let Carle and Jagr leave, go after Parise or Suter
27%
Pursue more leadership or grit (eg. Shane Doan)
22%
Focus on trade (Nash. Ryan or Dman), add FA role player
22%
See what other teams do first

He would be a nice third pairing defenseman who can help on PP. Thats a nice signing since all these defenseman are being overpaid.

Yup. And now I'm off to get groceries.

P.S. Homer, please do not trade away our future for Nash.

We did beat Pittsburgh last year in the playoffs right, while they had Crosby? Why is it alway a blow-a-thon for the Pens.

Funny how they keep talking about good centers Parise could play with and Claude Giroux's name has not come up once... no respect.
