The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the Flyers have agreed to a five-year deal with forward Simon Gagne worth $5.25 million a season.

The signing ends a long summer of negotiations between Gagne, a restricted free agent, and Flyers general manager Bob Clarke.

Gagne, who was reportedly asking for $5 million to $6 million a year, is coming off a career-high 47 goals and 79 points last season. The 26-year-old was taken 22nd overall by the Flyers in the 1998 Entry Draft and has 160 goals and 324 points in 426 career NHL games.

More to follow.

He signs a 5 year contract of 5.25 million $ by season. If Forsberg is not injure this season, their line(Gagné and FOrsberg) will be amazing!

I'm glad Gagne is able to return to the Flyers. With him back, they should do pretty well again this year.

WOW! Finally, I, as a die hard Flyers fan, am FINALLY RELEIVED!! It's about time. That line (Foppa, Knubs, Gags) is going to be stellar!! Probably better this year then last. I can't wait for O&B season to begin.

Decent price to pay for a stellar 2-way player like Simon Gagne. I'm pretty sure he could score 50 this year with a healthy Peter Forsberg.

GL Simon!
