Flyers Notes

The Flyers' multifaceted experiments on defense from last summer have been shelved.

Two weeks ago, the Flyers waived Nolan Baumgartner, who was supposed to be their answer for a puck-skating defenseman.

Yesterday, the backup plan also failed. The Flyers sent Swedish prospect Lars Jonsson back to the Phantoms with fellow rookie Alexandre Picard.

When former coach Ken Hitchcock was in the death throes of that losing streak, he pined for the return of Jonsson on the blue line. Jonsson had a serious high-ankle sprain. Obviously, coach John Stevens doesn't have the same feelings.

What these moves could signal is the clearing of cap space for a deal. Brian Leetch is skating and trying to prepare for a comeback. The Flyers are one of a few teams he would consider playing for.

Leetch is 38, but is there any other unsigned player who is better on the power play? Remember, the Flyers' power play is dead last in the NHL with a single-digit rating of 8.6 percent efficiency (6 of 70) before last night's game.

A real possibility is Calgary's Roman Hamrlik. The Flames, whose scouts have been around the Flyers lately, are looking to make a deal. Detroit is looking to move Andreas Lilja, but he is not very mobile. The guy who took his job, Brett Lebda, is mobile.Mathieu Schneider is 37, but he would be a huge upgrade for the Flyers.

It just might happen.

That's old news...

It was rumored old news... it's slowly becoming more likely. ;)

It's a moronic signing for philly, I will be very surprised if it happens.

This is Ken... we'll just wait and see what happens :) Honestly though, I can't see him making that much of a difference. He was a great player, but right now, probably a waste of cap money at this point.
