With Meszaros iffy now, something had to be done.

Either way, the sooner the better. Get him in here and get to work.

Not a bad price for him, either.

I'd have rather kept the higher (or so it looks) LA 2nd, but with the Flyers track record with 2nd rounders, who gives a poop.

Huh. I wonder if Brad Richards saw this - or knows Sestito had played NHL games prior to this year?

When he is on the ice you don't know it cuz his name is hardly mentioned. Nothing spectacular but solid.

UBI. ESPN has him as questionable for tonight. Missed practice yesterday and didn't skate this morning.

Not hearing a defenseman's name isn't a bad thing.

$1.625 cap hit, UFA at the end of the year.

Considering that Carolina was asking for a 1st for Bryan Allen, according to the rumor mongers, it's a fair price for Grossman.

Having watched Grossman for last 2 seasons, he reminds me of ex-Flyer Marcus Ragnarsson: solid, no-frills. Not as good with puck as Rags.

Absolutely. Not bad for a stability boost the rest of the year.

Who knows, he may well re-sign for a few years too. Solid and no frills usually means an decent cap hit

Philly area ice-makers gleefully optimistic about business for 2012.

That probably rests on Pronger's availability heading into next year.

Or Carle's future in Philly.

Or neither.

I'm sure there is more to come.... we can still add someone in the 3 million cap hit range, and about 5 million if we did the send down/waive contracts.... maybe another solid young D-man or dome defensive help.
