Gordon shouldn’t be an NHL player on a good team, but he also hasn’t played in the AHL in 10 years.
In addition to signing Dale Weise earlier today, the Flyers have signed forward Boyd Gordon to a contract. No word on terms.
Gordon, 32, is hopefully just going to be AHL depth if all goes according to plan. The former 17th overall pick by the Capitals in 2002 has played in the NHL for the majority of his career, with 693 games under his belt. In fact, he’s been an NHL regular in each of the last 10 seasons and has played just two AHL games since 2006.
