I didn't think I'd see a club make a drastic move like this so soon in the season. Im sure many clubs would be intrested in having those three.

Wow! I guess Hitchcock is desperate to shake things up. Good for him.

Getting Eager up with the Flyers will at least give them some size without the slowness of Hatcher. They have to do something, I don't know that bringing three guys up is going to be enough. Maybe seeing a guy like Nedved put on waivers will wake up some of the other veterans on the team.

Baumgartner was decent in vancouver, but he isn't worth 1.2.
Nedved isn't worth 2.3 either.
The only one I can see being claimed is Dimitrakos.

Getting rid of those three salaries and estimating $600 000 each for picard and ruzicka would put the team under $38mil and even keeping Baumgartner they would be right around $39mil. This would give them a lot of space to make a move if they want. I wouldn't mind Khabibulin. I know a lot of people think he is finished now but he's only 33 and I think having him in nets could give the offensive guys some confidence and they would not have to worry about who is in goal.

Flyers waive Nedved, others after loss

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Center Petr Nedved and fellow NHL veterans Niko Dimitrakos and Nolan Baumgartner were waived Wednesday after one of the Philadelphia Flyers' most lopsided losses in franchise history.

The Flyers, who lost to Buffalo 9-1 Tuesday night, recalled right wing Stefan Ruzicka, defenseman Alexandre Picard and left wing Ben Eager from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms.
They will join the Flyers on Thursday for the game at Tampa Bay.

If Nedved and Dimitrakos clear waivers by Thursday, they will be assigned to the Phantoms. Free-agent defenseman Baumgartner will remain with the Flyers.

Baumgartner had one assist, and Dimitrakos and Nedved were both scoreless this season.

The 34-year-old Nedved, acquired by the Flyers in January in a trade with the Phoenix Coyotes, has 308 goals and 705 points in 942 career games over a 15-year career in the NHL.

Interesting. I never would have thought this would happen well I mean Philly placing Baumer on waiver, like canucksfan792 said he is alright (though I dont like them. He gives up the puck alot) but he is deffenly not worth 1.2 Mil. I was shocked when i head this in the summer. Like Baumer said in the Paper he never thought his was going to happen and that he wanted to say in Van. But then he said when you get a contract like that you must take it.

I would kinda like to see the Nucks pick-up Dimitrakos. I think he would do pretty good on the 3rd line with Burrows and Cooke.

Another game another loss. Let's see who gets sent down tomorrow or maybe they'll wait for the loss tomorrow night to do something else. If they do lose tomorrow this could be a very different looking team by Monday.

Well that's 3 games in a row where they have outshot the oponent and lost. It's probably for the best. A couple of wins in a row might give them reason not to make more changes. I hope this is enough to get rid of Clarke. I have thought for a long time that he's been doing a good job but he has really just been getting by, ever since he signed vanbiesbrouk instead of joseph it has been mistake after mistake in the goaltending department. He was fired once by the Flyers, hopefully it will happen again.
