No big splashes. Certainly none with the impact of last year's signings of Danny Briere, Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen, and the Smith/Lupul/Pitkanen trade. But along with the 4 smaller UFA signings, Flyer GM Paul Holmgren also sured up the blueline further by resigning defenseman Randy Jones to a new 2 year deal worth $5.5 million.

Metropolit was inked to a two-year deal, while Vaananen was signed for one year. The 34-year-old Metropolit posted 11 goals along with career-highs in assists (22) and points (33) for the Boston Bruins a year ago. This will be the sixth club in the energetic winger's eight-year NHL career, which has seen stints with the Capitals, Lightning, Thrashers and Blues. He also spent two seasons in Finland and one in Switzerland from 2003-06 before returning to North America two years ago. A 27-year-old stay-at-home defenseman, Vaananen spent last season playing in the Swedish Elite League. Prior to that, he played six seasons in the NHL with Phoenix and Colorado, registering 12 goals, 57 points and 460 penalty minutes in 430 contests. In other roster additions, the club signed forward Nate Raduns to a one-year contract and defenseman Sean Curry to a two-year contract. Both players spent 2007-08 in the American Hockey League.

Eminger was acquired by Philadelphia along with a 2008 third-round pick from the Washington Capitals on June 20 for a first-round pick in the 2008 draft. "Steve is a young two-way defenseman that will fit in nicely with our group," said Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren. The 24-year-old collected only two assists in 20 regular-season games for Washington last season. He added a goal during the Caps' seven-game Eastern conference quarterfinal loss to Philly. "I'm happy to get the deal worked out and excited about being part of the organization," Eminger said. "I can't wait for the start of the season to get things going." A former first-round pick of the Caps (12th overall) in 2002, Eminger has posted six goals and 43 points in 212 career games over parts of five years, all with Washington. The signing is the latest in a spate of moves the club has undertaken to add depth to the defensive corps, with the health of Derian Hatcher and Mike Rathje in question, along with the expected departure of unrestricted free agent backliner Jason Smith.

"Jeff is a terrific young player who has come up through our organization and we believe that he is only going to get better," said Holmgren. "It is a priority for us to keep our core of young players intact and signing Jeff allows us to do that." Carter played in 82 games last season, notching 29 goals and 24 assists, all career-highs. The 23-year-old added six goals and 11 points in the postseason and helped Philadelphia reach the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2004. "I'm very excited to be staying in Philadelphia," said Carter. "We have great group of guys on this team and I can't wait to get back on the ice and continue where we left off last season." The Flyers selected the London, Ontario native with the 11th overall pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, and he has 66 goals and 132 points in 225 career games.

Stevens is currently in his first full season behind the bench of the Flyers and has guided the club to a 16-14-3 record. "John has built strong relationships with many of our young players as well as with the players that joined us over the summer," said general manager Paul Holmgren. "We believe that he is the right coach to lead our team in a positive direction." Stevens, who briefly served as an assistant coach for the Flyers before being promoted, took over as head coach last year following the firing of Ken Hitchcock early last season. "Obviously, I am very excited," said Stevens. "I have a great relationship with Paul Holmgren and I am thrilled with the opportunity to continue to work with Mr. Snider and Peter Luukko. They have the team going in a real positive direction. They have a long history of winning here and I am excited to be a part of that moving forward." Stevens was the head coach for the Flyers' AHL affiliate -- the Philadelphia Phantoms -- for six seasons (2000-06), compiling a 230-181-33-25 record to go along with 29 playoff wins and a Calder Cup championship in 2005.

Biron made 40 saves and Mike Knuble had a goal and two assists to lead the Flyers to a solid 3-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes Wednesday night at RBC Center. It was the second victory for the Flyers in Raleigh in a week, and their 3rd win over a division leader in that same span. The Flyers defeated the Northeast division leading Ottawa Senators 4-3 on Saturday night. http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-28.html Wed, 28 Nov 2007 23:30:00 EST NHL http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-28.html Faced with the top team in the NHL, the Philadelphia Flyers were able to do two things they have seldom done through the early part of the season; outshoot their opponent and offer a consistent effort through the entire game. As a result, the Flyers were able to give the Ottawa Senators their 4th loss in their last 8 games with a 4-3 victory Saturday night at ScotiaBank Place. http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-24.html Sun, 25 Nov 2007 09:00:00 EST NHL http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-24.html What began as an uninspired, unemotional game for the Philadelphia Flyers turned in the final 2 periods into a huge win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday night at the RBC Center. Danny Briere broke out with a hat trick, his first since joining the Flyers and his first since January. All three of Briere's goals came within a 14:18 span in the 3rd period, and he added an assist as well as he helped his team break a 2 game losing streak and stay within 2 points of the Atlantic Division leading New York Rangers. http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-21.html Thu, 22 Nov 2007 11:00:00 EST NHL http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-21.html PHILADELPHIA - A goal in both the shootout and regulation by Brendan Shanahan spelled an end to the Philadelphia Flyers' undefeated home record and a win for the New York Rangers on Thursday night at the Wachovia Center. The Flyers were looking to defend their 6-0-0 home record this season, and nearly did so had it not been for the shootout goal that Shanahan scored on the Rangers' second attempt. http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-15.html Fri, 16 Nov 2007 05:30:00 EST NHL http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-15.html Before the opening of the regular season, Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Stevens decided to give the alternate captain title to 3rd year center Mike Richards. Stevens is certainly not regretting that decision early in the Flyers season. Richards brought the Flyers out of a 1st period funk by winning a fight and scoring a goal, leading the team to a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Friday night at Verizon Center. http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-02.html Fri, 2 Nov 2007 22:40:00 EST NHL http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-11-02.html Through the first 8 games of the season, Kimmo Timonen has been the solid defensive presence the Flyers hoped for when he was acquired just ahead of the opening of free agency. But it's safe to say that Timonen wishes he had this one game back. A late miscue in his own zone led to an errant pass attempt to Danny Briere and a turnover that eventually ended up in the Flyers' net, and solidified a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Thursday night at St. Pete Times Forum. http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-10-25.html Thu, 25 Oct 2007 00:00:00 EST NHL http://flyerflies.com/main/recaps/07-08/07-10-25.html
