Seeking improved mobility on the blueline, the Philadelphia Flyers have signed defencemen Nolan Baumgartner, formerly of the Vancouver Canucks, and former Boston Bruins first-rounder Lars Jonsson, who has been plahing in Sweden.

Baumgartner, 30, had a breakthrough season in 2005-2006, scoring 34 points with a plus-11 rating in 70 games. He signed a two-year contract.

Jonsson, 24, was picked by the Bruins in the first round of the 2000 draft, but couldn't come to terms with the Bruins, making him an unrestricted free agent. He scored 27 points in 50 games with HV 71 in Sweden last season.
