“@AnthonySan37: I am told the #Flyers will in fact sign UFA defenseman Kurtis Foster today to a one year, $950K contract. Details to come later this AM #NHLâ€
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have agreed to contract terms with 6-5, 225-lb free agent defenseman Kurtis Foster, according to general manager Paul Holmgren.

As we reported last night, D Kurtis Foster is now a Flyer. CLub's website says he was signed to a 1-year deal at $950,000 this morning
The signing has been announced on flyers.nhl.com. I'm wondering if maybe teams around the league are not willing to deal with the Flyers after the way Holmgren forced Nashville's hand with the Shea Weber offer sheet.......

Kurtis Foster will wear jersey #3. #Flyers
NHL teams look out for themselves and themselves only. Nashville probably won't deal with the Flyers. Other teams will carry on as usual.
who was the last Flyer to wear 3. Bart?
Out of interest, did Weber end up getting an NTC in his contract? Pretty sure I read he didn't. That ship had likely sailed anyway, but nice to know any chance of the Flyers getting him is all but dead and buried

Flyers announce signing of defenseman Kurtis Foster. Joins Rathje, Wilson, Watson, Bladon, Crossman, McGillis, Galley in wearing #3.
Can't access flyershistory.com for some reason.
Not a bad signing at all. If he sucks we can send him to the ahl no problem

I think that's really reading into things a bit, right?
The Flyers inability to acquire a better defenseman via trade (assuming they were actively trying to do so) likely has more to do with who they weren't willing to give up than any blackballing from the Weber saga.
Well, if Jimmy Develano's comments about the Flyers and them trying to poach Weber as an RFA were correct, there might be quite a few teams who won't want to deal with the Flyers. Fact is, this is still an old boy's club and that you can bet plenty of owners were upset with how the Flyers went about business with Weber. I think it's very possible that the owners might teach the Flyers a lesson by refusing to deal with them. I suppose though there will always be a Carolina that will always deal with them, no matter what......
It would probably help if we had tradeable assets that we wanted to trade.Maybe. But at the same time, Develano's comments have some merits. It'll be interesting to see how the season plays out. If the Flyers try to make deals and no one is willing to talk turkey, we'll know for certain.
