*While the rest of the league was busy making a bunch of (mostly) nutty free agent signings, the Flyers were getting the biggest signing of the day done: Matvei Michkov’s ELC. [BSH]
*Flyers fans were, as usual, totally chill about this news. [NBC Sports Philly]
*It’s kind of a big deal! We should not be chill about it! [Flyers]
*Danny Briere made a couple of other moves yesterday, albeit neither of them very exciting. First up was Erik Johnson, who signed on for another season. [BSH]
*Johnson is taking the place of Marc Staal as the 7th and as the storied veteran who can help develop the Flyers’ young defense corps.
