Michael Del Zotto, Flyers avoid arbitration, agree to two-year contract

No arbitration.

Michael Del Zotto and the Philadelphia Flyers will not be going to arbitration. The team announced Thursday that they have come to a "multi-year" agreement with their restricted free agent defenseman.

The Flyers are petulant children when it comes to actually announcing the important part of the news -- how long the contract is and how much money they're giving the player -- so we'll have to wait a few minutes or whatever until it leaks elsewhere.

Update: Oh hey, it took less than five minutes for the details to leak.

This is a pretty fair agreement. The cap hit with the deal is $3.875 million over two years, and for a guy who probably be in the Flyers' top four for those next…
