Just when you think the Flyers have put the final touches on a busy offseason, Chuck Fletcher throws caution to the wind by acquiring a very notable name. Free agent forward Derick Brassard will join the team on a one-year deal worth $825K.
A first-round pick back in 2006, the 33-year-old veteran joins the Flyers on the back of a one-year stint with the Arizona Coyotes where he notched 20 points (8g-12a) through 53 games. 14 of those came at even strength, adding value to a team that could well see him lined up playing ahead of Travis Sanheim, who also does a lot of best his work at even strength.
