Meltzer’s Musings: 9-8-10
September 8, 2010
I remain in favor of the Flyers signing Bill Guerin to a one-year contract. From what I gather, the team would prefer to bring him in on a "tryout" basis (although there's nothing they can learn about him that they didn't already know) while evaluating their roster and salary cap situation. The Guerin camp wants a deal in place beforehand. One possibility if the club is unwilling to waive seven

Meltzer’s Musings: 9 -2 -10
September 2, 2010
Until recently, the defense position has not been regarded as a particular strength of the Flyersâ clubs of the last decade. The perception has often been that the top three or four are decent but the team has lacked solid depth. Even so, there is actually a pretty good field of contenders of defenseman of the decade honors, and a tough choice for the second-team selection if one is to choose on

Would Guerin Work Here?
September 1, 2010
Talking to Bill Guerin today, I wondered whether the Flyers would have signed Jody Shelley had they known that PGH wasn't going to re-up on Guerin. Guerin is an ideal kind of player who can help any Stanley Cup contender as those of us who were around the Penguins in 2009 during their Cup run can attest to. He's the perfect guy in a room for a young captain like Sidney Crosby or Mike Richard

Guerin, Fridge skating with Flyers
September 1, 2010

Free agent Guerin in Orange and Black? Unrestricted free agents Bill Guerin and Todd Fedoruk are skating with several Flyers at the Skate Zone in Voorhees but Paul Holmgren tells me today that it does not mean they are campaigning to wear the Orange and Black. "Bill's wife is from around here (Medford) and his agent (Bob Murray) called to see if it was OK for him to skate here a few days and I told him he could. But don't read anything into it. We're happy with our team." Former Flyer Justin Williams, who owns a home at the Jersey Shore, has also skated with the Flyers in recent days. Holmgren said opposing players are welcome to practice at the Skate Zone until Labor Day. After that, the rink will be used only for Flyers players and prospects. Guerin also downplayed his first informal practice with the Flyers.

The news that Bill Guerin is working out with the Flyers in hopes of landing a tryout is no surprise. It had been rumored for several weeks that Guerin was interested in Philly if the Penguins did not re-sign him. As long as a reasonable one-season contract can be worked out, Guerin is a good fit for the Flyers even at age 39. He still has some scoring pop left, adds some muscle and toughness a

Danny Briere: I’m so excited to be back
August 30, 2010
Danny Briere Quotes from Friday, August 27, 2010 Q: Danny, are you back in town to stay? DB: “Yes, I’m back in town and will be ready for the start of training camp. I might leave town here and there for charity events but for the most part I’m back to stay. I am so excited to be back, too. I’m looking forward to the new season. Yes, the break was short because we played so long but that is a good problem to have.

It would be an understatement to say that the goaltending position has been a source of consternation for the Flyers over the last decade. Given the candidates, the choice for the top Flyers goalie since 1999-2000 is a relatively easy one, but even that player conjures up as many negative emotions as positive ones. The choice for second team gets pretty dicey, as there really isnât much to that

Briere Trims Down
August 27, 2010
Danny Briere will come into training camp at the same weight he departed after last spring's playoffs - 170 pounds. It's the lightest he will be in several years coming to camp. He says he feels lighter and quicker on the ice at that weight and played much of the season at it. Ironically, he admits that personal issues off the ice was the catalyst for him losing weight. He wasn't eating. A

Sometimes the best trades are the ones a team doesn't make. If reports from Edmonton are true, the Flyers and Oilers had a trade agreement last season in which Scott Hartnell had already agreed to waive his no-trade clause and go to Edmonton in exchange for defenseman Sheldon Souray. Allegedly, Steve Tambellini nixed the deal at the last moment. If it's true and the trade in question really had
