The Flyers continued to make moves today as they traded a 2nd round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning for young defenseman Andrej Meszaros. Later they resigned Braydon Coburn for 2 years and $6.4 million. After that they signed 39 year old defenseman Sean O'Donnell, Chris Pronger's former Anaheim Duck's teammate for 1 year and $1 million. Finally the finished their activity for the day by signing ex Ranger fighting defenseman Jody Shelley to a 3 year 3.3 million deal. So the Orange and Back now have arguably the deepest defense in the league and now a little over 1 million in cap space to play with. That means Aaron Asham probably won't be resigned and either Darrol Powe or Dan Carcillo will have to be let go as well. Furthermore, if the Flyers still want to make a move for a goalie and perhaps another winger someone will have to be traded away to for cap space. I for one like the improvements on defense and am interested to see what moves the Flyers and Paul Holmgren still have up their sleeves.
