The Flyers added depth to their blue line, acquiring defenseman Danny Syvret from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for forward Ryan Potulny.
Syvret, 22, had two goals and 18 assists with 43 penalty minutes in 63 regular-season games for Springfield and Hershey Bears, of the American Hockey League, this season.
"Danny is a puck-moving defenseman that sees the ice well and will improve our depth," general manager Paul Holmgren said in a statement. "He had some success playing with Jeff Carter and Mike Richards at the 2005 World Junior Championship as a member of the Team Canada.
"Ryan was a good player for our organization, but this was a deal based on a need, as we added depth to our defense."
Syvret has appeared in 26 regular-season NHL games in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, with an assist and 12 penalty minutes.
Potulny, 23, played in seven games for the Flyers this past season, but spent most of his time with the Phantoms. He had 21 goals and 26 assists with 51 penalty minutes in 58 regular-season games in the AHL.
Over the last three seasons, Potulny has registered 14 points and 26 penalty minutes in 44 regular-season games for the Flyers.

5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
That should be the primary home. Always liked the Flyers when their jersey was orange... I like the white name plate too! Nice. Where'd you find that or did you make it? What other teams are adding thirds? My team never does that...too bad.

I like that jersey.... and most teams are going to have a 3rd jersey next year so hopefully this is the Flyers.... but I do agree that it should be their home jersey and make the black ones the alternate jersey.

Important part... Free-agent update. The Flyers are negotiating with potential restricted free agents Jeff Carter, R.J. Umberger and Randy Jones. Holmgren said he was hopeful of signing them but was not especially close.
He was close to signing Riley Cote, another potential free agent on July 1.
In addition to signing the Big Three, one of Holmgren's off-season goals is to add a defenseman. Brian Campbell, John-Michael Liles, Mark Streit and Mike Commodore are among potential free agents who could fit the bill.
Bolstering the roster and staying within the salary cap, which is expected to reach $55 million, will be tricky, but Holmgren seemed confident.
Also, Hatcher is better than 50-50 on returning next season, but nothing concrete yet.

Streit is probably going to be seeing a pay increase this year.

I don't see how he couldn't... a number of teams need defensemen and even a 2nd tier FA could see a nice pay raise given the FA situation, especially when Campbell looks like he'll get a huge payday, even though it may not be fully warrented.

Streit is also able to play forward, and was a noteworthy force on the PP this year (regular season, at least).

4:00 PM: As most of you have seen by now, the Jeff Carter signing is official per the Flyers (no dollar figure/years given as of yet) and TSN (reporting three years, $15 million).
***
Paul Holmgren is back in Philadelphia for what figures to be a busy weekend before the July 1 start of free agency. Some quick updates on the Flyers' impending free agents:
* The Flyers and Jeff Carter remain close to completing an agreement on a three-year contract. The worth of the deal is generally reported at $15 million ($5 million cap hit per season), but there are also reports of a somewhat lower figure.
* Riley Cote's three-year deal is all but wrapped up. The contract worth will be between $1.7 million ($565,000 cap hit) per season and $2.4 million ($800,000 on the cap), depending on the source.
*The Camden Courier Post reports that Randy Jones is close to a three-year deal worth around $4 million ($1.33 million per season on the cap).
* Patrick Thoresen will be a restricted free agent after receiving a qualifying offer from the team. The only impeding free agents who did not receive qualifiers are defenseman Lars Jonsson (signed to play in Sweden) minor league goaltenders Martin Houle, Scott Munroe, and Rejean Beauchemin.
