Gagne, who played 79 games last year after playing only 25 in 07/08, has two hernias on his right groin and will need surgery. Anticipating that he will be out for an extended period of time, the Flyers have placed Gagne on the Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR), meaning he will miss at least the next 10 games. This move frees up 5.25 million dollars for the Flyers in cap money.Since they have the extra cap space, t...

With Gagne's salary cap hit headed to the LTI with him, defenseman Randy Jones has been put on re-entry waivers. If he clears, he'll likely join the Flyers to add some D help. If another team claims him, the Flyers will pay half his salary and a...

The defenseman, who the Flyers waived on Friday, has cleared waivers today and will been sent to the Phantoms in the next few days. The move automatically gives the Flyers 2.75 million dollars under the cap, money that will be used to sign Blair Betts and ensures that James van Riemsdyk will start the season in the NHL.What happens next for Jones is the real question. The Flyers could easily stash Jones away...

We'll update the story when we find out whether Jones clears or is claimed.  Sat, 26 Sep 2009 14:07:47 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/article_external/Randy_Jones_Waived/1249360 http://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/article_external/Randy_Jones_Waived/1249360 http://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/article_external/Randy_Jones_Waived/1249360 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/0/e/0ef55769a1a106d0d3ff0a9cb634b8bb8e41d01b/small/GettyImageProxy.ashx_requestUrl_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f86255375.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d17A4AD9FDB9CF193E66F6A66FD8D516E1BA4921C633FACFE.jpg Fans have been calling for it for months and they may finally get their wish. According to the Daily News, the Flyers are going to release Randy Jones this weekend in order to free up salary. Jones is set to make 2.75 million dollars this year, so waiving him would clear up some valuable cap space to sign forward Blair Betts, who has earned his way onto the team with his solid defensive skills.Ridding themselves of Jones would be a great move for the Flyers because he hasn't done anything...

Anthony SanFillipo has tweeted that a team source tells him that Jones will be waived either today or tomorrow. I've never really had a problem with Jones aside from his salary. I don't think he is half as bad as most of his detractors seem to, but particularly for a cash-strapped team, the flexibility provid...

Tollefsen was in Philly a few days ago getting checked out by the Flyers training staff, and as long as he checked out, the team was going to sign him. He signed a one year deal with the Flyers, but his salary has not been announced. Tollefsen made $675,000 with the Blue Jackets last season, so I would expect a number in that range.The signing of Tollefsen likely means the end of Randy Jones as a Flyer. Jones is set to mak...

But should he risk coming back too soon?

Given that, I find it fair but not everyone does (by "not everyone" I mean the Flyers management).
