Gagne was good the first time Forsberg went out, they he got hurt (groin, wrist) and never became the player he was earlier inthe year

ha!

I should add that I like the Baumgartner signing. He will be a solid replacement for Johnsson. He's the same age, less injury-prone (obviously), and he's coming off his best pro season by far.

hes also basically a minor leaguer...think seidenberg

I hope the Flyers get Carter.

He's better than that because of how hard-up the Flyers are for a defenseman that can skate at all.

They have him, Jeff Carter. Anson wont be here ever. But Clarkie did sign Cullen, not Matt Cullen but career minor leaguer Mark Cullen.

The BIGSTUD · July 06, 2006, 12:44:35 AM

Anson could easily be here. Clarkie has interest and he hasn't been signed yet. Clarkie is known for making big name signings, and hasn't this year yet, so one should be on the horizon.

He had a break out year with Buffalo but he really doesn't look like all that much past last year. Crack Head Bob Clarke is at it again...

Have you heard of the friggin Cap. The Flyers had only 6 mill to get FA's and resign their own. I would rather re-up they're own players. Trade Esche to a team like St Louis for prospects and picks, somehow find someone to take Hatcher or Rathje off the books even if you eat the bullet this year. They need to find the money to get Forsberg resigned.

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 06, 2006, 09:47:47 AM

Hatcher rules. As does O'Doyle.

BigEd76 · July 06, 2006, 02:49:52 PM

Umberger signed a 2-yr deal

If the Devils can do it so can we.

Seabiscuit36 · July 06, 2006, 04:24:26 PM

the devils have 7 mill wrapped up in 2 players playing in russia. Plus your right i trust Sweet Lou much more than Bobby.

another Flyer leaves for Minnesota, Branko Radivojevic. Kim Johnsson signed there earlier this week.

I will definitely need to buy a program to know who is on the team this upcoming season.

dis12 · July 10, 2006, 08:30:58 AM

37 year old Brendan Shanahan signed a one-year deal worth $4 million with the New York Rangers.

Breaking: Forsberg could be ready for start of season

By ED MORAN
Daily News Sports Writer

Flyers center Peter Forsberg is expected to announce today that he will not need surgery on his left ankle and could be ready for the start of the season, the Daily News has learned.

The Flyers have scheduled a conference call with Forsberg and trainer Jim McCrossin for later this afternoon.

Forsberg announced shortly after the season that he was going to need surgery to correct a worsening condition in both feet that is causing them to be unstable in his skate and also resulting in ligament damage in his ankles. He was expected to be out until January.

He underwent surgery on the right ankle May 15 and subsequently began rehab.

Forsberg met today with Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C., and it was determined that the damage to the left ankle was minimal and would not need to be corrected.

The Flyers' top player missed 20 games last season due to groin injuries believed to be related to the condition in his feet.
