Flyers Lose Jones

rom Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly, Randy Jones won’t be going back on the Flyers’ roster. The defenseman was claimed Thursday morning by the Los Angeles Kings on re-entry waivers. That means Jones’ $2.75 million cap hit will be split between the Flyers and Kings, who must pay the $15,000 waiver claim price as well In other words, the Flyers just took a $1.375 million cap hit for a player they lost on re-entry. Financially, it was a huge gamble and the Flyers lost. “He would have helped our team but that’s the risk you take,” general manager Paul Holmgren said. “What are you going to do? … Those are the rules. We knew the risks going in.” Holmgren said a couple clubs asked about him recently, but no one asked the Flyers to put him on re-entry so he could be claimed. continued
