End of an Era as Gagne Departs
NHLHS Philadelphia Flyers Correspondent David Strehle takes a look at the departure of Philadelphia sports’ longest tenured player.
It’s hard to believe that just two short months after rescuing his Philadelphia Flyers from postseason elimination in such heroic fashion, Simon Gagne will no longer be wearing the Orange-and-Black.

Flyers’ Signing of Zherdev a Gamble Worth Taking
NHLHS Philadelphia Flyers Correspondent David Strehle examines Philly’s signing of Nikolai Zherdev and the ramifications for the rest of the team.
The Philadelphia Flyers have officially signed Nikolai Zherdev. Per club policy, terms were not disclosed (via flyers.nhl.com)
When word got out via Teemu H. (@euroflyers) and Puck Daddy’s Dmitry Chesnokov (@dchesnokov) on Twitter that the Philadelphia Flyers were in the process of signing former-NHL right wing Nikolai Zherdev, it seemed a curious move by GM Paul Holmgren.

NHL Arbitration: Moulson, Carcillo, really?
NHLHS wrtier Anthony Curatolo ponders the arbitration filing by some players from the league. If you want the money, prove your vaule prior to cashing in.
With yesterday’s deadline to file for salary arbitration arrived, two names amongst the 31 players who filed that I, personally, did not expect to see were New York Islanders forward Matt Moulson and Philadelphia Flyers forward Dan Carcillo.

NHLHS Philadelphia Flyers Correspondent David Strehle takes a look at a busy first day of free agency for Paul Holmgren and the Flyers.
As the National Hockey League’s free agency period officially opened up today, there was no mystery as to what Philadelphia Flyers GM Paul Holmgren was hoping to acquire.
Defensemen, and possibly a goaltender.

Flyers Deal Hamhuis’ Rights to Pens; Inquire about Nabokov
NHLHS Philadelphia Flyers Correspondent David Strehle takes a look at the Flyers decision to move the rights to pending UFA defenseman Dan Hamhuis to the Atlantic Division rival Pittsburgh Penguins and the rumors that Paul Holmgren is talking about acquiring the rights to one of the top pending UFA goaltenders, Evgeni Nabokov.
For the Philadelphia Flyers, NHL Entry Draft day is usually a very busy time. Last year GM Paul Holmgren pulled the trigger on the Chris Pronger deal with the Anaheim Ducks, and the previous year moved forward R.J. Umberger to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a first round pick (Luca Sbisa, who ended up being dealt to Anaheim in the Pronger trade).
