from Chuck Gormley of the Courier-Post,
With just four days remaining before the free-agent market opens, the Flyers are inching toward multi-year contract agreements with potential restricted free agents Jeff Carter, Randy Jones and Riley Cote that will determine how much they can spend on free agents….
The Flyers still must make a decision on 36-year-old defenseman Derian Hatcher, who has one year remaining on a contract that pays him $3.5 million.
Hatcher has expressed a desire to play at least one more season and unless he retires or accepts a buyout, the only way the Flyers can remove him from their cap number is to place him on the long-term injury list.

Maybe they are planning a “Tonya Harding” to make sure he needs to go on the LTI.

Hmmm, that might work. On the other hand, he skates like it has already been done, so maybe no one would notice.

Hey, wait a minute…. just waaaaaait a minute. You can’t just throw a guy on the LTI list because he makes too much money. (Can you???) Gormley’s only reasoning for this possibility is this:
Isn’t the key word here playing? Isn’t this the same as about half of the NHL work force? How can a guy who has been playing for two years with a limited amount of cartilage—and, as an aside, I’m willing to bet that no one plays with an unlimited amount—all of a sudden be injured long-term with the exact same cartilage?
Probably just another example of how the players have those poor franchises over a barrel with the current CBA.
