It'll be interesting to watch the Philadelphia Flyers this season, they've made some huge, huge changes. Daniel Briere, Kimmo Timonen, Scott Hartnall, Jason Smith, Joffrey Lupul...plus it'll be the first full season for goaltender Martin Biron. I think Lupul should rebound & i think he'll turn into a quality pickup for the Flyers. Briere should be a good fit too, whether flanked by Gagne/Knuble on his wings, or perhaps even Lupul.
I'm not sure of the cap numbers for the Rangers since the signing of both Scott Gomez & Chris Drury, but it would definitley be nice of they could add another defensemen to the mix. Both Henrik Lundqvist & Sean Avery will be resigned & are in line for raises, while all signs point to Brendan Shanahan resigning for around the $4 million he earned last season. They cleared up a bit of cap room by letting Karel Rachunek walk, and by not resigned Jed Ortmeyer.
Hopefully Gomez & Drury will help give the Rangers more grit on their top 6 lines, something that has been lacking the last 2 seasons.
