Flyers Sign Steve Eminger To One Year Deal

Today the Flyers signed defenseman Steve Eminger to a one year contract. The Flyers acquired Eminger at the NHL draft on June 20 in exchange for the 27th overall pick. He was scheduled to become a restricted free agent on July 1st. According to Paul Holmgren, "Steve is a young two-way defenseman that will fit in nicely with our group."

Eminger was the Washington Capitals' first round pick in 2002. He has 6 goals and 43 points in 212 games with the Capitals over the past 5 seasons.

Good signing. Still say we let Jones walk. I could be wrong though. If he continues to progress, it would be a mistake. I watched too many regular season games where he didn't cut off his man at the right time, or turned it over at the worst time possible. I'd be willing to go with Hatcher, Parent, Kimo, Coburn, Kukkonen, and Eminger. If Hatcher retires, I'd love to see us sign a FA.

why would you let Jones go, he is a big guy who can move the puck into the neutral zone and is good along the boards and can hit. he is also good on the PK and PP. As for Hatcher, i think he is done in Philly, his knees are shot and it would be a good idea to let him go to free up some cap space for a FA D-man.
