On Tuesday, the Flyers ended up making four signings, one being more significant than the other three. The big one being the signing of forward Glen Metropolit to a 2-year deal, with financial numbers not being disclosed.Metropolit played all 82 games for the Boston Bruins last season, scoring 11 goals and adding 22 assists, which placed him in the top 250 of pool scoring, which should make him eligible for getting picked up in your pool draft. It looks as though he has finally found a regular place in the NHL after being somewhat of an outcast and a fixture in Europe.
The team also signed defenseman Ossi Vaananen, forward Nate Raduns and defenseman Sean Curry. There is a shot that Vaananen could crack the line-up, but as of today, he'll sit on the outside looking in.
| Forwards | Defense | Goaltenders |
| Mike Richards | Kimmo Timonen | Martin Biron |
| Daniel Briere | Braydon Coburn | Antero Niittymaki |
| Jeff Carter | Derian Hatcher | |
| Mike Knuble | Lasse Kukkonen | |
| Joffrey Lupul | ||
| Scott Hartnell | ||
| Glen Metropolit | ||
| Scottie Upshall | ||
| Simon Gagne | ||
| Steve Downie |
With no actual salary figure for Metropolit out yet, the total of $50.6 million against the cap only counts for 15 of the 16 skaters above.
