Flyers sign Russian defenseman Medvedev

After yet another World Championship, the Flyers seem to have found an international addition to their roster.

The Flyers signed Russian defenseman Yevgeni Medvedev to a deal on Wednesday, already upping their total number of defensemen to eight for the upcoming season - not including restricted free agent Michael Del Zotto.

The length of Medvedev's contract was not immediately known, or if it was a guaranteed one-way contract - though it is unlikely Medvedev would've been wooed away from Russia if the deal was not one-way.

Medvedev, 32, has never played in North America.
