From the Delco Times:
The Flyers have signed General Manager Paul Holmgren to a three-year contract extension that will keep him at the helm through the 2011-12 season, the Daily Times has learned.
Holmgren was credited in large part with the wheeling and dealing last off-season that took a team that finished last in the NHL and put them back in the playoffs.
Update 3:04pm ET: Also in the same article above, Arron Asham was signed to a multi-year deal today.

Holmgren resiged Coburn back in December to a 2-year deal with a cap hit of $1.3 million per year. So Coburn won’t be on the market again until the summer of 2010. That should leave Homer plenty of time to clear cap space through trades, etc.
