The Philadelphia Flyers announced that they have re-signed center Adam Hall to a one-year contract, according to club general manager Paul Holmgren.

The 32-year-old Hall appeared in 11 games, going scoreless and averaging 10:58 of ice-time for the Flyers this past season after being acquired on waivers at the trade deadline.

Over parts of 10 seasons in the NHL with the Nashville Predators, New York Rangers, Minnesota Wild, Pittsburgh Penguins, Tampa Bay Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes, Hall has appeared in 602 regular season games, posting 65 goals and 82 assists for 147 points to go along with 259 penalty minutes.

A center has got to be getting moved.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I thought he did a solid job after being acquired.

 

[Curufinwe]

BSchenn and Laughton to wing maybe.

Maybe. He did play on the wing majority of the time here.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I can dig it. Someone is on the way out. We now have 14 forwards (+Wellwood) on the roster.

 

[ayshplaysh]

We were all assuming Laughton would make the squad but it makes sense to have Hall if he doesn't stay up.

 

[Appleyard]

A center has got to be getting moved.

He has switched between wing and centre his whole career, he has played almost exclusively on the wing some years, and over his career has almost certainly played more games at RW.

Homer "I will own every center in the world bwah, hah, hah!!!"

 

[flyersfan018]

Interesting. I thought he was all but gone at this point.

 

[nevermore]

Good, I want no part of Laughton as the 4th line center. Hall did well to end the season. Plus, faceoffs.

EDIT: Or he may just play RW.

 

[Curufinwe]

Giroux will get to take a lot less face offs.

 

[GKJ]

I don't think he's exclusively a center. They needed a guy who makes very little on the cap. That's more that this is.

Besides, he'll get waived eventually I'm sure.


Very pleased by the signing though, I liked it when we got him off waivers and he played well.

True. Hoping that Lavy sees how good he is at center though. Seriously plays talbot there who loses faceoffs and hall on wing when he wins them. Hall is real solid defensively also.

Glad he got resigned. Really liked him. Either a center will be moved or Laughton and Schenn on wings. Got a small feeling all is still not done. Wouldnt be surprised if laughton is part of a package that brings in a defender.

 

[Alchemy]

Happy about this. Good size, faceoff ability, and pker. Good for the 4th line.

 

[mercury]

I still want Gagne back.

 

[Jtown]

Im glad. faceoffs, size, and PK ability.

 

[Stizzle]

I like this. Hall has the reputation of being good on faceoffs and PK. He is pretty physical also. I assume he is 4C, and Laughton now plays 3LW.

It could just be insurance for Laughton as well. I mean sending Laughton back to juniors wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. He'll be playing top minutes with Oshawa and playing in the WJC's for Canada.

I still want Gagne back.

Sounding like it won't happen. Too many bodies among the bottom 6.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Cheap body.

I can't really check the roster right now, does this push Laughton back into Juniors? Or is there still a hole he's penciled into?

 

[bennysflyers16]

And cheap. Love this as 4th line and pk r. Guy never stopped busting his ass while here.

I think it's clear that if Flyers think Laughton should be on the team, he'll be on the team while other guys hit waivers. I think he would have stayed this past year if it wasn't a lockout.

 

[Jtown]

Cheap body.

I think so. Laughton could have a big year ahead of him in juniors.

Hartnell - Giroux - Voracek
Schenn - Lecavalier - Simmonds
Read - Couturier - Talbot/Laughton
Rinaldo - Laughton/Hall - Hall/Talbot

It could be something like that.
