No word on what the Flyers are doing with the Vets or older players but they have solidified deals for Ben Eager and Scottie Upshall, two up and coming forwards. They’re quite different. Eager is a checking forward that scores from time to time and tends to take over Fedorouk’s fighting role. Upshall was a pleasant surprise, a scoring forward the Flyers got from Nashville in exchange for Peter “Floppa” Forsberg.
Now if the Holmgren can do something about the Blue Line such as dealing Pitkanen for Rafalski. I dread he’ll waste too much on the recently waived Samsonov or get pulled into the Scott Gomez auction.
