Well, the Philadelphia Flyers finally acquired Massimo Rizzo after a rather long wait. Rizzo was reportedly supposed to be the return for Tony DeAngelo, back when a trade to the Carolina Hurricanes was taking shape. Alas, DeAngelo was bought out, and no trade ever happened.
Now, it has become apparent that Rizzo might be a favorite of Danny Briere’s. Even though the young center was not acquired in the way he was scheduled to be, the Flyers still went out and brought him in. At the cost of the rights to Czech forward David Kase, this move was certainly a no-brainer.
