2 p.m. - DAY 5: FLYERS SIGN FREE AGENTS GERVAIS, FEDOTENKO



Flyers GM Paul Holmgren announced that the club has signed forward Ruslan Fedotenko and defenseman Bruno Gervais to contracts today.



Fedotenko returns for his second stint with the Flyers after beginning his NHL career with Philadelphia in 2000-01 through the 2001-02 season.



“Ruslan is a good two-way forward that can play either wing and will bring experience and depth to our forward group," said Holmgren.



He is coming off the past two seasons with the New York Rangers, recording nine goals and 20 points in 73 regular season games this past season, while adding another seven points (2G-5A) and a plus-7 rating in 20 Stanley Cup Playoff games during the Rangers run to the Eastern Conference Final.



The Flyers have also added defenseman Bruno Gervais to their blueline.



"Bruno is a right-handed shot defenseman that has over 300 games experience in the league," said Holmgren. "We feel both these players solidify our team.”



Gervais is a 6-1, 200-pound addition to the Flyers defensive core. He posted 13 points (6G-7A) in 50 games for Tampa Bay this past season, his first with the Lightning.



Fedotenko will enter his 12th season in the NHL, having won Stanley Cup Championships with the Tampa Bay Lightning (2004) and Pittsburgh Penguins (2009). He recorded both goals for the Lightning in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final for a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames in 2004.



He has over 800 regular season games experience, recording 169 goals and 184 assists for 353 points in 816 games, while also appearing in over 100 Stanley Cup Playoff games where he has added 40 points (22G-18A) in 108 postseason contests.



Gervais also has some familiarity with the Flyers, having played in the Atlantic Division for most of his career.



Prior to Tampa Bay, he spent his first six seasons with the New York Islanders, the team that drafted him in 2003 (6th rd - 182nd overall).



Against the Flyers, Gervais has posted eight points (2G-6A) in 28 games.



One Flyer in particular is certainly happy to be calling Gervais a teammate once again.



Max Talbot and Gervais were teammates for one season (1999-2000) with Antoine-Girouard in the Quebec Junior Triple-A league before the two embarked to major junior hockey in the QMJHL and eventual NHL.



Talbot considers Gervais a good friend and recently teamed up for a charity golf tournament together for the fifth straight year in their hometown province of Quebec.



Over parts of seven seasons in the NHL with the Islanders and Lightning, Gervais has recorded 81 points (15G-66A) in 381 regular season games.



11:40 a.m. - DAY 3: FLYERS INK THREE

With the third day of free agency underway, the Flyers announced three signings. Defenseman Cullen Eddy and forward Mike Testwuide will return to the Flyers organization, as will defenseman Danny Syvret who enters his third separate campaign with the team.



Eddy attended Flyers training camp for the past two seasons and appeared in 54 games for the club's AHL affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, where he posted 15 points (2G-13A) and 130 penalty minutes. Eddy also recorded 14 points (4G-10A) in 15 games for the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL this past season.



Syvret played for the Flyers from 2008-2010 and part of the 2010-11 season.



He recorded his first NHL goal with the Flyers during the 2010 NHL Winter Classic against the Boston Bruins at Fenway Park.



Overall, Syvret has four points (2G-2A) in 27 games with the Flyers.



With the Flyers' AHL affiliate, Syvret has produced 27 goals and 79 assists for 106 points in 142 regular season games, including 57 points (12G-45A) in 76 games during the 2008-09 season to finish second among all AHL defensemen for the Phantoms during the team’s final year in Philadelphia.



Testwuide has spent the previous two seasons in Glens Falls with the Phantoms. He posted 29 points (12G-17A) in 66 games to go along with 79 penalty minutes.



Since signing with the Flyers on March 19, 2010 out of Colorado College, the 6-3, 220-pound Testwuide has recorded 30 goals and 38 assists for 68 points in 142 games with Adirondack.
