The Flyers got the last of their restricted free agents under contract yesterday when they re-signed Darroll Powe to a one-year contract that will pay him $725,000. That is a $205,000 raise from his 2009-10 salary. Although the 25-year-old forward did not contribute anything offensively in the playoffs, he mixed in a little timely offense early last season (6 of his 9 goals were tallied in the

The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have acquired 6’4’’, 215-pound defenseman Matt Walker and a fourth round selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for left wing Simon Gagne, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren. “This was a move to solidify our defense,” said Holmgren. “Matt Walker is a right shot defenseman that we like. He brings size, grit and toughness to our backend. Simon Gagne played 10 seasons for the Flyers and was not only a good player for us, but also handled himself in a first class manner on and off the ice.” Walker, 30, appeared in 66 games during the regular season for the Lightning, recording five points (2G,3A) and 90 penalty minutes. “My initial reaction was pure excitement,” said Walker. “To find out that I was coming to Philly, I don’t know if I would say it was a life-long dream, but I’ve always wanted to play in Philly and I thought I would be a good fit there.” Over parts of seven seasons in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues (2002-03 to 2007-08), Chicago Blackhawks (2008-09) and Lightning (2009-10), Walker has recorded 30 points (4G,26A) and 444 penalty minutes in 304 career regular season games, and two assists and 14 penalty minutes in 21 career Stanley Cup Playoff games.

The Flyers have made a depth signing with the addition of free agent veteran defenseman Dan Jancevski. He received a two-year, two-way contract that will pay him $525,000 at the NHL level and $250,000 to play in the AHL. The 29-year-old Jancevski is a former second-round pick of the Dallas Stars. The 6-foot-3, 212 pound blueliner has suited up in 9 NHL games for Dallas (two stints) and the Tam

Adding Zherdev might spell the end of longest-tenured Flyer, Simon Gagne. The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have signed 6’2’’, 203-pound free agent right-wing Nikolai Zherdev to a one-year contract, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren. “Nik is a highly-skilled player who, at 25-years-old, we feel will be a good fit to our core of forwards,” said Holmgren.  “Prior to playing last season in Russia, Nik ranked as one of the top young point-producers in the NHL. We are pleased to add him to our team.” Zherdev has appeared in 52 games with Atlant-Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League in 2009-10 where he recorded 39 points (13G,26A) and 79 penalty minutes during the regular season. This is going to be a move that will likely cost the Flyers a highly paid player such as  Briere(6.5Mill Cap Hit), Gagne(5.2mill Cap Hit), Carter(5Mill Cap Hit) or Hartnell (4.2Mill Cap Hit). Zherdev, from a talent standpoint cant be questioned; 99-goals 140-ast for over 200 pts is nothing to sneeze at. But he has a reputation of being very lazy and un-inspired when things are not going his way on the ice
